Packers beat Patriots 45-27 behind Jordan Love and wideout duo

The Green Bay Packers secured a 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots, with quarterback Jordan Love completing 23 of 29 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns, resulting in a 153.2 passer rating, Yahoo Sports reported.

Wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden were the standout performers, combining for 17 receptions, 335 yards, and two touchdowns. Watson finished with seven catches for 171 yards, while Golden had 10 receptions for 164 yards, both setting career highs.

Defensively, the Packers forced four turnovers, including three interceptions of Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who was also sacked four times. Safety Xavier McKinney intercepted Maye twice, contributing to the team's dominant defensive showing.

The Packers also rushed for over 100 yards in the game, snapping an eight-game streak without reaching that mark. Running back Josh Jacobs left the game early due to a hand injury, with Kaleb Johnson stepping up as the leading rusher with 59 yards and a touchdown.

In special teams, rookie kicker Trey Smack was perfect on his attempts, making three field goals and four extra points. The win improved the Packers' record to 6-3 on the season.

The Patriots will face the Detroit Lions in Munich next Sunday, while the Packers prepare for an NFC North matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Injuries remain a concern for the Packers, particularly at running back and linebacker positions, as key players missed or left the game due to injuries.
