Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love’s injury amid a slippery turf field late in a 34–29 defeat is raising a bigger concern for the league.

Packers and Philadelphia Eagles players slipped and slid all over the turf at Corinthians Arena during the league’s first-ever game in Brazil. It happened in key moments throughout the game, such as Eagles running back Saquon Barkley slipping for a 5-yard loss on his first carry to backup Packers quarterback Malik Willis slipping on the final play of the game.
