Several Eagles and Packers players lost their footing due to “challenging” conditions Friday night on the field at Arena Corinthians, which is normally a soccer stadium.
SÃO PAULO — The field conditions were a major talking point after the Philadelphia Eagles’ 34-29 win over the Green Bay Packers on Friday night.
A number of players lost their footing during the game and later attributed it to the slick surface at Arena Corinthians, which is normally a soccer stadium. For the Eagles, it stirred some not-so-great recent memories.
“It kind of reminded me of the Super Bowl turf”, said tight end Dallas Goedert, referencing the surface in Arizona when the Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
“I mean, y’all saw out there that it was kind of rough to get traction”, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said. “Definitely challenging on that field. It’s not the type of field we’re used to playing on. We’ve had that type of field before. They had to play on it, as well.
