In the final seconds of the NFL game between the Eagles and Packers, Jordan Love sustained an injury.
Help was needed for walking off the field.
On Friday, in the final moments of the 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jordan Love, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, sustained an injury in Brazil.
In the final moments of the game, with the Packers in their own territory and desperately trying to win, Eagles defenders wrapped Love's legs.
Josh Jacobs received the ball from him and he fell down.
After the play, Love was observed limping and required assistance to leave the field.
In the final two plays, Green Bay was led by former third-round pick Malik Willis, whom the Packers acquired from the Tennessee Titans this offseason.
In his second year as a full-time starter, Love threw for 260 yards with two touchdowns and one interception before getting injured, and had the Packers in a commanding lead late in the game.
Despite failing to score a touchdown on the Packers' final five drives, But Love managed to kick a field goal in the game's final 27 minutes.
Love had high expectations going into his second season after leading the Packers to a playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys last season. However, in 2023, Love threw for 4,159 yards with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and in two playoff games, he threw for 466 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions.
If he is absent for an extended period, the Packers will require Willis to take on a more prominent role. The Packers' upcoming games are against the Colts, Titans, and Vikings, all of whom missed the playoffs last season. However, their schedule becomes more challenging starting in Week 5 with the Los Angeles Rams.
The NFL's first game in South America was won by the Eagles, who remain undefeated in Brazil.
In his debut for the Eagles, Saquon Barkley scored three touchdowns and gained 132 yards, despite slipping on a toss play and incurring a five-yard loss on his first play.
Jalen Hurts, the Eagles quarterback, threw for 278 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. However, he also had a fumble after a failed exchange with new center Cameron Jurgens, who replaced Jason Kelce this year.
In the final minute of the game, the Eagles almost lost a fumble at the goal line due to Jurgens' multiple bad snaps.
