Eagles lead Green Bay after first half

What a first half. 

The Eagles lead the Packers, 27-20, after two frames. 

Miles Sanders already has two touchdowns on 11 carries for 51 rushing yards. But the team's leading rusher? That would be Jalen Hurts. He's got 126 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Hurts has completed 11 of his 17 passes for 128 yards to go along with that score to Watkins. 

The Packers, who are desperate at 4-7, are scoring the ball at will against the Eagles defense. 

Aaron Rodgers has tossed touchdown passes to Aaron Jones and Randall Cobb. A.J. Dillon punched one in on the ground for Green Bay. 

But Rodgers has also thrown two interceptions. Josiah Scott intercepted one pass on Green Bay's first drive after the ball was deflected, and rookie safety Reed Blankenship recorded his first interception of his career in the second quarter.  

The Eagles wideouts have been quiet through the first half, and A.J. Brown had a costly turnover in the second quarter that led to Jones' receiving touchdown.

Eagles unveil black helmets

For the first time tonight against the Packers, the Eagles are wearing their all black uniforms. 

The Eagles were allowed to add the black helmets to their uniform options after the NFL overturned a safety rule in 2021 that previously required teams to have only one color to ensure players would practice and play in the same helmet.  

In the 2023 season, the Eagles will swap out the black alternate helmets for Kelly Green helmets, reminiscent of their 1990s-style uniform.
