FOXBOROUGH J'Mon Moore Color Rush Jersey , Mass. 鈥?Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers spent the week telling anyone who asked that the other guy was the better quarterback.In the second matchup between the future Hall of Famers, it was the one with five Super Bowl rings who walked off the field with the victory.More Packers coverageProtecting QB Aaron Rodgers will be Packers’ priority vs. BearsPackers place starting guard Bell on IR, sign OL SiragusaStaTuesday: Packers’ Rodgers sets record with INT-free streakPackers Snap Counts: Patrick shows fight in first startUpon Further Review: Packers vs. FalconsBrady threw for 294 yards and a touchdown, and James White ran for two scores to lead the New England Patriots to a 31-17 victory over Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.It was the sixth straight victory for the Patriots (7-2).“We made some plays in the fourth quarter when we needed to,” Brady said. “Anytime you beat a good football team it feels good. So, 7-2 is a long ways from 1-2 where we were.”Rodgers completed 24 of 43 passes and two touchdowns but failed to rally his team after tying the game in the third quarter. Rodgers won the first matchup with Brady at Lambeau Field in 2014.“If you play long enough, and you have the sustained greatness that Tom has had, there’s going to be a lot of records,” Rodgers said. “He’s been the gold standard at quarterback for two decades.”It was 17-all late in the third quarter when Aaron Jones fumbled for Green Bay (3-4-1).New England receiver Julian Edelman hit White on a 37-yard catch-and-run to set up White’s second score, a 1-yard run. On the Patriots next possession, Brady connected with Josh Gordon for a 55-yard TD.Gordon caught five passes for 130 yards, the 12th 100-yard receiving game of his career.With tight end Rob Gronkowski out with a back and ankle injury and leading rusher Sony Michel out for the second straight week with a knee issue, Brady and the Patriots had to get creative.They again turned to receiver Cordarrelle Patterson to help carry the load in the backfield.Patterson was effective for the second straight week,聽rushing 11 times for 61 yards and a touchdown聽.“So much of our team is guys being in roles that maybe they didn’t sign up for,” Brady said. “But they’re asked to do it. … A lot of guys down and you’re short at certain spots. Obviously, we have a lot of trust in him that when he’s got the ball in his hands good things are gonna happen.”He worked in tandem with White to keep the Packers defense guessing. White took advantage and found space to turn short completions into first downs.New England also capitalized on a pair of long flea-flicker passes to set up scores.Rodgers was on target in the first half. He was elusive in the pocket and extended plays with his feet, keeping the Patriots’ secondary off balance long enough to create space downfield or some big gains.The longest was a 51-yard pass to聽Marquez Valdes-Scantling聽in the third quarter that helped set up Rodgers’聽15-yard TD pass to Jimmy Graham聽that tied the game at 17. But the pocket got smaller in the second half as the Patriots defense sped him up https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Nick-Perry-Jersey , hitting him six times and sacking him once.Brady completed 16 of his first 22 passes but had six straight incompletions in the third quarter.There wasn’t a turnover in the game until Green Bay’s Jones was stripped by Lawrence Guy early in the fourth quarter. The fumble was recovered by Stephon Gilmore on the Patriots’ 24.New England quickly capitalized, using four straight completions by Brady and a 37-yard pass from Julian Edelman to get to the Packers’ 2. White scored from a yard out two plays later to put the Patriots back in front 24-17.“It was obviously a big play in the game,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “That was a turning point.”The Patriots’ defense tightened on Green Bay’s next drive. It culminated on third down when Adrian Clayborn and Trey Flowers dropped Rodgers for a 9-yard sack and forcing a punt.It proved costly.On just the third play of the ensuing drive Brady found Gordon over the middle. Packers cornerback Tramon Williams had a shot at a tackle, but whiffed,聽springing Gordon for his 55-yard touchdown聽.TOSSEDPackers safety Jermaine Whitehead was ejected in the second quarter.Whitehead was trading shoves with Patriots center David Andrews when second year defensive back from Auburn spun around and slapped Andrews in the face.He was called for unnecessary roughness and tossed. Whitehead was the replacement for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who was traded to the Washington Redskins last week.INJURIESPackers: WR Geronimo Allison was inactive for the Packers with a groin injury. He was a key contributor in the passing game before missing two weeks with a hamstring issue. … Starting RT Bryan Buluga left the game in the first half with a knee injury and did not return. … CB Kevin King left the game with a hamstring injury and did not return. … S Kentrell Brice left in the third quarter with a knee injury.Patriots: Gordon said he dislocated his finger early in the game while catching a pass but played through the pain. “It was just like a freak accident. Nothing too crazy,” Gordon said. “It dislocated. So I popped it back into place a couple of times.”PHOTO OPPThe Boston Red Sox continued their World Series championship celebration with聽a pregame, on-field appearance聽.Team owner John Henry, manager Alex Cora and several players including World Series MVP Steve Pearce, J.D.

DETROIT — The Detroit Lions seem to need a win over Green Bay to stop Matt Patricia’s first season from being a flop.Week 5 may seem a little early for an NFL team to be desperate.More Packers coveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryNot in Detroit.The Lions (1-3) were embarrassed in a 48-17 loss to the New York Jets, who haven’t won since the opener and appear to be one of the league’s worst teams . The Lions did earn an impressive win over New England in Week 3, but the lone victory is sandwiched between comebacks that fell short at San Francisco and Dallas.Detroit, which hasn’t won a division title since 1993, can get a boost of confidence and go into a bye week on a high if it can beat the Packers (2-1-1) for a third straight time.“It would be huge because if you win this one Davante Adams Jersey , you get to enjoy this one for a little bit longer and you got a break to enjoy,” Detroit receiver Golden Tate said. “If you lose this, you’re thinking about it until you’re back on the field.“Besides that, it’s a divisional game. I like to think it counts as two. A win for us and a loss for them, that’s a two-game swing in my mind.”Unlike last year’s season sweep, though, the Lions will have to face two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. He was injured for the 2017 matchups.“One of the best ways to get into the playoffs is to win your division games and this is our first opportunity,” Detroit safety Glover Quin said. “If we get a win here, we’ll have two wins just like Green Bay. Minnesota has one. Chicago has three wins, but no one is running away with it right now.”Here are some things to watch for in Sunday’s game at Ford Field:RODGERS REAXGreen Bay’s superstar quarterback voiced his displeasure with the offensive production last week against Buffalo despite a 22-0 win and 400-plus yards of offense. Coach Mike McCarthy has chalked up the frustration to Rodgers’ competitiveness, adding he was also unhappy.Rodgers has been playing through a left knee injury that appears to limit his mobility.“When the adrenaline kicks in on game day, I’ve felt a little better the last couple games,” he said.Green Bay’s top three receivers are banged-up, leading to them miss practice time. Davante Adams has a calf injury. Randall Cobb missed the Bills game with a hamstring injury. Geronimo Allison has been in the concussion protocol.POSSIBLE PAY DAYTate is on pace to have the best season of his nine-year career with team highs in catches (28), yards receiving (389) and receiving touchdowns (three) through four games.Entering the final year of his contract, Tate said his agent and the Lions are not discussing a new deal.“I’m always down for talking, but they completely stopped Josh Jones Color Rush Jersey ,” the 30-year-old Tate said. “I’m just going to do my job. I still feel young, which is a major key.”ANOTHER AARONAaron Jones could be emerging from the Packers’ crowded backfield. A slasher with big-play potential, Jones is working his way back into the three-man running back rotation after being suspended the first two games. He’s averaging 6.3 yards per carry after averaging 5.5 yards last year as a rookie.Jamaal Williams started the first four games and has stood out in pass protection. Ty Montgomery is a receiving threat out of the backfield. Jones has been third in the rotation, allowing the Packers to put perhaps their best runner into the game at a time when the defense isn’t as fresh.R-E-S-P-E-C-TDetroit’s Darius Slay, who has an NFL-high nine interceptions since the start of 2017, has become one of the league’s best cornerbacks, as last season’s All-Pro recognition confirmed.“He’s a premier corner,” Rodgers said. “And the thing I’ve always respected about him is he does star coverage. He plays on both sides of the field, he plays in the slot, and not many corners do that.”In 2015 after the Lions won in Green Bay, Slay said Rodgers foresaw the recognition that was coming.“You’re underrated,” Slay recalled Rodgers saying to him. “You’re one of the top guys. Keep playing and you’ll get (notoriety).”PRESSURE PACKAGEThe Packers’ defense finally put together a four-quarter performance in the shutout of the Bills after three roller- coaster weeks of alternating one good half with one choppy half. Granted, they had seven sacks and forced three turnovers against a rookie quarterback in Buffalo’s Josh Allen.GREEN BAY (2-1-1) at DETROIT (1-3)Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FoxOPENING LINE – Packers by 1RECORD VS.
