Packers Morning Buzz: Eagles concoct perfect plan for springing upset

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia offering observations from the Eagles' perspective after their 34-27 win Thursday night over the Packers. Frank opines that Eagles coach Doug Pederson came up with the perfect strategy for winning in Green Bay:

I loved the concept of Doug Pederson's gameplan — to run the ball early and often, try to control the clock and wear down the Packers, and keep Aaron Rodgers off the field. I think it gave the Eagles the best chance to win a game in a very loud stadium, a very difficult stadium to play in. Pederson found a terrific balance with Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders, and it seemed to keep the Packers off balance. Sanders and Howard combined for 159 rushing yards on 26 carries and the Eagles netted 176 rushing yards in all. ... Attacking with an authoritative running game and keeping Rodgers off the field as much as possible was the only way the Eagles were going to stay in the game. Pederson spent enough years in Green Bay to understand the challenge of coming in here, and the gameplan was perfect.
