The Eagles’ first-round pick started on the outside with Isaiah Rodgers nursing a hand injury. Facing a 3rd-and-6 from the Eagles’ 38, the Packers quarterback threw deep down the left sideline to Christian Watson. But Mitchell, the Eagles’ first-round pick, was step-for-step with Watson and broke up the pass.

That forced a fourth down. The Packers were going to go for it before they got a false start. They punted.

The Eagles unveiled a new wrinkle. Rookie Cooper DeJean, the second-round pick, was the nickel, leaving Mitchell on the outside.
