Jordan Love Leads Packers to Rout of Patriots

Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday, leading the Green Bay Packers to a 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., as reported by The Athletic.

The triumph pushed the Packers’ record to 6-3 on the season and notched five wins in their last six outings. DAZN reported that the 45 points allowed by New England marked the most surrendered by the franchise in a regular-season game this century.

“Phenomenal,” wide receiver Matthew Golden said of his quarterback, according to The Athletic. “Just being able to play with a guy like that is a blessing.”

Love completed 23 of 29 pass attempts while adding a rushing touchdown and a two-point conversion. The performance lifted his season passing total to 2,618 yards through nine weeks, pacing the NFL.

Love Leads NFL Quarterbacks in Deep Passing Completions

Love leads all NFL quarterbacks with 40 completions of at least 20 yards, including 12 gains of 40 yards or more, DAZN noted. His 9.5 air yards per attempt rank tied for first across the league.

Against New England, Christian Watson hauled in seven passes for 171 yards, while Golden added 10 receptions for 164 yards. DAZN pointed out that the pair converted 17 of their 18 targeted passes into catches, exploiting a Patriots defense that struggled in single coverage.

“He’s hoopin’, man,” running back Josh Jacobs told The Athletic. “Just lookin’ around, I don’t see a lot of guys playing like him right now.”

Head coach Matt LaFleur praised his quarterback’s downfield precision following the victory. “Those are low-percentage throws, in theory, but he’s making them look high-percentage,” LaFleur said, per The Athletic. “They’re right on the money.”

Jacobs Sustains Fractured Finger Amid Rushing Struggles

While the passing game flourished, Green Bay’s ground attack has faced recurring hurdles. DAZN highlighted that the Packers managed only 66 yards on 26 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8, with Jacobs gaining 39 yards on 21 attempts.

Defensive Turnovers Provide Sparks

Green Bay’s defense has forced at least two turnovers in six consecutive games, supporting the high-powered offense with favorable field position. Safety Xavier McKinney intercepted two passes against New England, Evan Williams added another interception, and linebacker Isaiah McDuffie forced and recovered a fumble.

DAZN observed that three of the four possessions generated by those turnovers against New England resulted in touchdowns, bridging the gap when sustained offensive drives stalled.

Minnesota Vikings Rematch at Lambeau

The Packers return to action against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field on Nov. 15, 2026, presenting a fresh test against a defense that frequently deploys heavy pressure packages.

“We’re still far away from being a finished product,” LaFleur said following the win in Foxborough.
