PHILADELPHIA — Injuries and a litany of mistakes piled to end the Green Bay Packers' season with a 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round. After Keisean Nixon fumbled on the opening kickoff, the Packers lost two of their top three wide receivers and two starting offensive linemen to injuries. Jordan Love's two interceptions in his return from an elbow injury in the regular-season finale did not amount to any Eagles points, but they cut Packers drives short. Nixon had one of two unnecessary roughness penalties in the fourth quarter as Green Bay failed to mount a comeback.
