A few weeks before the playoffs the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to have had probably the most explosive offenses in the entire NFL. On the other hand the Green Bay Packers were finding a way to make it into the playoffs. The two teams would meet today January 9th, 2011 in Philadelphia in a NFC Wild Card showdown. The Packers came out playing physical running football against the Eagle defense and it seemed to be working all game. Leading 21-10 going into the 4th quarter the Philadelphia Eagles were looking to get things moving and get them moving fast. Driving up the field the Eagles looked like the expected Eagles everyone was used to, with Michael Vick running it for a 1-yard touchdown making it 21-16 Green Bay. The Eagles decided to go for two to make it a 3 point game but failed with about 4:00 left in regulation. The Eagles defense stepped up forcing the Packers to punt leaving about 1:45 left. Driving down the field again the Eagles looked unstoppable, but on 1st and 10 on the Packers 27, Michael Vick throws up a lob into the end zone intended for Riley Cooper but than intercepted by Tramon Williams of the Green Bay Packers leading the Aaron Rodgers to kneel it and end in the game with the final score Green Bay 21, Philadelphia 16.
