In an eventful start to the NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles secured a narrow 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. Rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell faced immediate challenges as he matched up against the Packers' star receiver Christian Watson. Despite being targeted ten times, Mitchell showcased his potential by making five tackles and defending a pass, proving his readiness for the professional level.

Head coach Nick Sirianni praised Mitchell’s composure despite the pressure from top receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Staying focused and adaptable, Mitchell played primarily on the outside, stepping up confidently to fill where needed due to injuries on the team. Although his debut wasn't flawless, it's clear that Mitchell has a promising future ahead.
