The Green Bay Packers defeated the New England Patriots 45 to 27 on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. The win extends Green Bay's streak to five victories in its last six games. The Packers recorded 478 total offensive yards in the contest.

Quarterback Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for a fourth score. Love completed seven passes of 28 or more yards and three passes of at least 43 yards. Wide receiver Christian Watson caught seven balls for 171 yards and a touchdown. Matthew Golden added 164 receiving yards and a score on 10 catches.

The Packers forced four turnovers against the Patriots. They converted those mistakes into 21 points. Defense was a major factor as Xavier McKinney intercepted two passes. Evan Williams also recorded an interception. The Packers entered the game with the league's worst rushing attack, averaging 60.6 yards per game. They finished with 129 rushing yards.

New England quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions while completing 21 of 38 passes for 299 yards. He had thrown only one interception in his previous four games. Maye now has 11 interceptions this season, tying Justin Herbert for the worst total in the NFL. The Patriots allowed a franchise record for points conceded at Gillette Stadium. New England had not given up 45 points in a regular season game at that venue since losing to the New York Jets 45 to 7 on September 26, 1993.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said the team was beaten decisively. Packers head coach Matt LeFleur noted that Love makes difficult throws look routine. Love described the performance as surreal. Fans at the stadium chanted MVP for the quarterback during the final minutes.

The Packers' 45 points and 450 total yards mark their first time reaching those benchmarks since November 11, 1962, in Philadelphia. Green Bay improved to a 6-3 record. New England falls to 5-4.
