Packers up 24-14 after intercepting Drake Maye three times in first half

Drake Maye had a first half to forget against the Packers on Sunday.

The Green Bay Packers took a 24-14 lead against the New England Patriots after intercepting quarterback Drake Maye three times in the first half of the game on Sunday. McKinney, a safety for the Packers, intercepted Maye twice while Evan Williams added a pick of his own. Kamal Hadden also had a potential interception thwarted, falling short of his fourth pick of the afternoon just before halftime.

These three turnovers from Maye were converted into touchdowns by the Packers, giving them a commanding lead at the break. Throughout the game, the Packers' offense, led by quarterback Jordan Love, was on a roll. Love completed 11 of his 16 passes for 219 yards, including a touchdown pass to wide receiver Matthew Golden. Golden had a standout performance with seven catches for 150 yards.

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was instrumental in several of these key plays, covering Golden effectively. However, the Packers' run game was impacted by the absence of running back Josh Jacobs, who left the game early due to a hand injury. The Patriots also suffered injuries, with cornerback Carlton Davis and right guard Ben Brown leaving the game as well. The team will need improved health and performance as they prepare for the next match.
