The Green Bay Packers finally played a complete football game on Sunday, and the result was a 45-27 win over the New England Patriots.The Packers set a season high with 478 total yards of offense, while 45 is the most points ever scored by an opposing team in Gillette Stadium’s history. The offense could not be denied in Week 9 thanks to incredible outings from Jordan Love, Matthew Golden, and Christian Watson.Jonathan Gannon’s defense forced four turnovers, including three interceptions against the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October, Drake Maye. The Patriots’ quarterback was also sacked a season-high four times.Complete dominance in all phases helped Green Bay improve to 6-3. Now they have won five of their last six and appear to be hitting their stride at a crucial point of the season.Naturally, after a win like that, there are going to be a lot of standout performances.QB Jordan LoveThis isn’t the first time this season we have wondered if Love has had the best game of his career. He was absolutely dealing en route to a 23-for-29 day for 372 yards, three passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown. His 153.2 passer rating is a new career-best, just 5.1 rating points shy of the maximum. Love attacked New England’s secondary early and often, completing 6 of 8 deep passes (20+ air yards) for 235 yards and a touchdown, according to Next Gen Stats. It’s the second time this season he’s completed six deep passes in a game, something no other quarterback has accomplished this year. He threw his 100th career passing touchdown and also threw his name into the MVP conversation.💯📺: FOX pic.twitter.com/lCspSQ9m6q— Green Bay Packers (@packers) November 8, 2026S Xavier McKinneyA takeaway is exactly how you want to start a game against a tough opponent on the road, and McKinney delivered on the second play in New England. Drake Maye made an ill-advised decision, throwing across his body to the middle of the field and instead of hitting Mack Hollins, McKinney intercepted the pass and returned it 36 yards to the Patriots’ 14-yard line. Two plays later, Green Bay’s offense took a 7-0 lead and never looked back. McKinney then intercepted Maye again in the second quarter, making a great read to jump a pass intended for tight end Eli Raridon. The 2024 first-team All-Pro is having another terrific season, now up to five interceptions in the first nine games.McHIMMEY📺: FOX pic.twitter.com/W1s8MmngSr— Green Bay Packers (@packers) November 8, 2026WR Matthew GoldenGolden got off to a hot start, catching seven passes for 150 yards and a touchdown just in the first half. He finished with 10 receptions for 164 yards, setting new career highs. Per Next Gen Stats, seven of those catches came against premier Patriots corner Christian Gonzalez, totaling 105 yards. Last year’s first-round pick has continued to turn heads in his second season and looks like a star in the making. Notably, he also didn’t have any drops.WR Christian Watson While Gold
