In a historic opening game for the NFL in Brazil, the Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Green Bay Packers 34-29, led by an impressive performance from Saquon Barkley in his debut with the Eagles. Barkley rushed for over 100 yards and scored three touchdowns, showcasing his potential in a revamped offense. Despite a shaky start, the Eagles managed to secure the win, while the Packers struggled with penalties and a new kicking situation, alongside an injury to quarterback Jordan Love.

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur expressed growing confidence in rookie kicker Brayden Narveson after his impressive performances in practice. Initially uncertain about entering the season with an untested kicker, LaFleur's outlook changed following Narveson's strong showing, including making all five kicks in his first practice and a solid performance in subsequent sessions. Narveson, who was claimed off waivers from the Tennessee Titans, is stepping in to replace Anders Carlson, who struggled last season.
