Good, bad and ugly from Packers' Week 9 win over Patriots

The Green Bay Packers secured a 45-27 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 9 of the NFL season at Gillette Stadium. Quarterback Jordan Love had a stellar performance, completing 17 passes for 335 yards, while recording four total touchdowns. The Packers' defense also shined, forcing four takeaways that led to three scores.

Rookie kicker Trey Smack made all seven of his kicks, including a 51-yard field goal. However, the game had its share of ups and downs. In the second quarter, the Packers struggled, going three-and-out and allowing a touchdown drive. A prolonged stretch of poor field position gave New England some momentum, but Xavier McKinney's interception in Packers territory helped the Packers break their slump.

Injuries to monitor include linebacker Ty Ron Hopper, who left early with a chest injury; running back Josh Jacobs, who broke a finger and did not return; slot corner Javon Bullard, who left due to a foot or leg injury; linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, who was shaken up late in the game; and quarterback Jordan Love, who needed tape on a finger after taking a sack. Receiver/returner Bo Melton was also evaluated for a concussion.
