Here are some Green Bay Packers’ winners and losers from their Week 13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Packers won their second consecutive game on Sunday thanks to a 30-16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. After a slow start, the Pack got on track quickly and took a 20-3 lead into halftime. After a fourth-quarter field goal, the Eagles scored two quick touchdowns to make it a suddenly nerve-wracking 23-16 contest. However, Aaron Jones responded with a huge touchdown run and the rest is history.

With the Packers keeping pace with the New Orleans Saints in the NFC, let’s take a look at three winners and two losers from their victory over the Eagles.

Winner: Darnell Savage

Darnell Savage is playing with a ton of confidence and it shows on nearly every play. Sure, he wasn’t perfect against Philadelphia, but he had another strong performance. And after securing two interceptions last week, he made a sweet diving pick off a Preston Smith pressure that helped Green Bay put the game away late. The second-year pro might be finding his stride at the perfect time.

Loser: Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the scapegoat for fans following the Packers’ overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. And he’s followed it up with two duds. He didn’t even have a target last week against the Bears and dropped his only one in this contest–what would’ve been a 50-yard bomb that hit him right in the hands. The good news is he keeps getting open deep, but his pass-catching issues run even deeper, as he’s struggling in the second half of the season for the second straight year.
