Quarterback Carson Wentz had a perfect preseason debut for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Green Bay Packers might need to keep working on tackling, though they're off to a good start in creating turnovers.
Wentz went 4-for-4 for 56 yards and a score on his first series, eluding a potential sack and burning the Packers on third and fourth downs in Philadelphia's 24-9 loss on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.
He did his best impression of elusive Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was a healthy scratch for Wentz was done after his opening series, while backup Brett Hundley started at quarterback for Green Bay with Rodgers sitting out. Hundley picked up the pace after a sluggish start as the Packers defense started forcing turnovers.
"We had a rough start there. I think both teams are obviously struggling handling the ball a little bit tonight — first time out, a little slick," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We have to take care of the football and we have to take it away."
