The Green Bay Packers faced a disheartening 22-10 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round, marked by a series of costly errors and injuries. The game started poorly for the Packers when Keisean Nixon fumbled the opening kickoff, paving the way for the Eagles to score a quick touchdown. This blunder set a negative tone for the Packers, who also suffered injuries to key players, including two of their top three receivers and several offensive linemen.

Coach Matt LaFleur lamented the early mistake, highlighting how it undermined their chances against a formidable opponent. As the game progressed, Green Bay's injuries mounted, with Elgton Jenkins and Devonte Wyatt leaving the field, leading to penalties from inexperienced replacements. Despite the setbacks, LaFleur emphasized the need for a 'next-man-up' mentality but acknowledged that the team's performance fell short of expectations.

The Houston Texans face a challenging matchup against the Green Bay Packers, particularly with several key players sidelined for the Texans. Notably, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter are among the inactives, which could significantly impact the Texans' defensive strategy.

On the Packers' side, former first-round pick Devonte Wyatt will also miss the game due to an ankle injury. Despite these setbacks, the game will kick off at 12 noon CT on CBS and Paramount+.
