The Eagles hope to stay above .500 with a win over the Green Bay Packers tonight on Monday Night Football. The Eagles look to go 6-5 on the season, and stay alive in the hunt for a Wild Card spot in the NFC Playoffs. We know Nelson Agholor will be inactive for tonight’s game, marking the debut of rookie Paul Turner. We’ll periodically update this thread throughout the game with highlights and drive summaries. Feel free to jump in the comments below.

10:36 – After review: The pass is incomplete, but the Eagles are out of challenges for the rest of the game.

10:34 – Doug Pederson is challenging a Jared Cook two-yard catch. It appears he caught the ball, then Jalen Mills popped it out, but Cook ended up catching the ball once again.

9:33 – Wentz throws a great pass to Jordan Matthews for 20 yards, but the wide receiver hobbles off the field. Looks like it’s his right ankle. On the next play, Wentz gets sacked for a 14-yard loss as the two minute warning approaches.

9:29 – After review: The ruling on the field stands. Clay Matthews is also back in the game.

9:26 – Packers punt but down it at the one yard line. But one Green Bay player’s foot appears to be on the goal line as he touches the ball. Doug Pederson is challenging.

9:21 – Packers are driving once again. In this game, they’re a perfect six-for-six on third down.
