The Green Bay Packers aired it out against the New England Patriots on Sunday, beating the defending AFC champions 45-27 in Foxboro.

Jordan Love played a key role in the Packers jumping out to a 17-0 lead, leading three scoring drives, two of which resulted in touchdowns. The second quarter featured both teams finding the end zone, though it was Kaleb Johnson's scoring from two yards out that gave the Packers a 24-14 lead at the break. The Packers did not slow in the second half, with Jordan Love throwing touchdowns to Savion Williams and Christian Watson in the third quarter to keep the game out of reach for the Patriots.

Love ended the day with 372 yards on 23 completions, throwing for three touchdowns and rushing for another. Watson and Matthew Golden continued to be Love's targets, with each having at least seven grabs, 160 yards receiving, and a touchdown. Even the rushing game cracked the century mark, with Johnson leading the way with 68 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. The defense also made life miserable for the Patriots: Xavier McKinney recorded two interceptions, Evan Williams grabbed another, and Karl Brooks had two of the team's four sacks.

The Packers will try to shake up the NFC North in their favor on Sunday when they host the Minnesota Vikings for a noon start.
