The underdogs had their backs against the wall, what did we think the Philadelphia Eagles were just going to pack it in on Thursday night?
Hell no.
Here’s how the Eagles went into Lambeau Field and shocked the Packers …
HOW THE GRADING WORKS
To put it simply a (+) is a win for the offense, a (-) is a win for the defense and a (/) is a tie. For example, if a team has a 1st and 10 and the offense picks up five-or-more yards it’s a win for them. It’s a victory for the defense if they hold the offense to three yards or fewer. A four-yard gain is a tie.
An offensive touchdown results into (+++), but a turnover forced by the defense gets (- – ). A field goal is (++) and a safety (–). If the defense forces a three-and-out they get a bonus of (–).
(++)- Offense gains 15-29 yards past the original line of scrimmage. If the offense commits a holding penalty and they pick up 15 yards on a 1st and 20, the offense gets just one (+) instead of two.
(+++)- 30-49 yards (++++)-
50-74 yards (+++++)-
75-or-more yards (+++++)-
