Quarterback Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns, zero interceptions, as Green Bay amassed 478 total yards and forced four New England turnovers. The duo’s performance ties them with Don Hutson and Andy Uram, marking the first 150‑plus yard, TD night for two Packers teammates since World War II.
During the Packers' 45-27 victory over the Patriots on Nov. 10, 2026, safety Evan Williams revealed that his mother, Dani, once babysat a five‑year‑old Tom Brady. The duo’s families crossed paths through Brady’s grandfather, who played with Dani’s father in the Bay Area. Williams also highlighted his own performance, intercepting a pass from quarterback Maye—his third of the season, tying him for the team lead. Green Bay’s defense, now under coordinator Jonathan Gannon, tops the league with 13 interceptions, bolstering the Packers' playoff push.

Despite the hype, New England falls 45‑27, with Maye posting 299 passing yards, three TDs and three picks.

Mike Vrabel blames the Patriots' secondary after a 45-27 defeat to Green Bay on November 9, 2026.

Coach Kevin O’Connell confirms Murray is week‑to‑week and will sit out at least this game, with veteran Carson Wentz slated to start and rookie Max Brosmer as backup.

The Green Bay Packers dominate the New England Patriots 45‑27 in Week 9, but star running back Josh Jacobs fractures his right ring finger early and exits after four carries.

Breaking down all the key plays through video analysis in the Packers' blowout win over the Patriots, including Drake Maye's three interceptions and the top seven explosive pass plays allowed by the Patriots:
The Bills are reportedly eyeing safety Budda Baker, though Arizona isn’t expected to entertain offers. Jets DE Will McDonald has submitted a trade request after feeling undervalued by the new coaching staff; Jets head coach Aaron Glenn says the team will keep him but remains non‑committal. Meanwhile, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel criticized cornerback Christian Gonzalez’s sluggish start in a recent loss to the Packers, demanding better performance from him and the unit. The article ties together roster moves and coaching remarks across the AFC.
The Green Bay Packers held workouts on Monday for six quarterbacks and tight ends, eyeing practice‑squad depth as running back Chris Brooks and edge rusher Micah Parsons are expected to return to the 53‑man roster. The QBs include Bradley Carter, a former Toledo and South Alabama all‑Sun Belt player who spent time with the Raiders, 49ers and Jaguars, and Jalen Morton, a former Packers undrafted free agent now coming off a productive USFL season. Tight‑end prospects featured are Zach Davidson (ex‑Vikings, UFL champion), Kenny Fletcher Jr. (undrafted Rutgers convert), and Zack Kuntz, the top‑rated 2023 TE prospect. The sessions reflect Green Bay’s search for versatile depth ahead of upcoming games.
The Vikings’ hunt for a running back intensifies as the Green Bay Packers, also desperate after RB Josh Jacobs faces legal trouble and a fractured ring‑finger surgery, enter the market. Minnesota’s backfield woes—injuries to Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Demond Claiborne’s IR spot—push GM Nolan Teasley to consider trade offers, possibly outbidding Green Bay for talent like Alvin Kamara, Jonathan Taylor or Tony Pollard before the Nov. 10 deadline. With the Bears and Lions already moving, the Vikings must balance cost against need ahead of a Monday Night Football showdown with the Bills.
The New England Patriots waive 23‑year‑old rookie tight end Tanner Arkin, opening a practice‑squad spot after releasing OLB Jose Ramirez. Arkin, an undrafted 2026 free agent from Colorado State/Illinois, appeared in seven games, logging 60 offensive and 41 special‑teams snaps and even filling in at fullback for the injured Reggie Gilliam. The Patriots’ tight‑end depth now relies on captain Hunter Henry, 2026 first‑round pick Eli Raridon, and waiver claim Cameron Latu, with Tanner Conner on the scout team. The move follows a 45‑27 loss to Green Bay as the 5‑4 Patriots prepare to play the Detroit Lions in Germany.
The Green Bay Packers held workouts for six free agents on Monday, featuring quarterbacks Carter Bradley and Jalen Morton and four tight ends—Zach Davidson, Kenny Fletcher, Zack Kuntz, and D.J. Rogers. Bradley, a 26‑year‑old undrafted South Alabama QB, has bounced between the Raiders, Raiders practice squad, Las Vegas, and Jacksonville, most recently on a futures deal before being waived. The Packers are evaluating these players as they look to add depth at QB and TE ahead of the season’s second half.
The Green Bay Packers put three‑time Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs on injured reserve after he broke his right ring finger in the first quarter of the Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. Jacobs will need surgery and is sidelined at least through Week 14, returning no earlier than Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins. The move hurts a Packers offense that ranks last in the league with only 614 rushing yards and 3.0 yards per carry. Jacobs, who has 36 carries for 80 yards and two receiving touchdowns this season, is under contract through 2027, leaving his future with Green Bay uncertain.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gives the latest injury report ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Vikings. Linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper felt a chest issue pre‑game, was pulled after two snaps and replaced by Nick Niemann, but LaFleur expects him back soon. Left guard Aaron Banks dealt with a groin strain, shuffled in and out of the lineup as Kevin Zeitler rotated at guard; the coach says the situation will be evaluated and hopes it isn’t lingering. LaFleur also declined to set a timeline for RB Josh Jacobs’ surgery, amid rumors of an IR move.
The Patriots head into their Munich showdown with the Detroit Lions grappling with a deepening offensive line crisis and a key running back uncertainty. Starting left guard Ben Brown suffered a knee injury against Green Bay and is confirmed out for the week, joining guards Mike Onwenu, Alijah Vera‑Tucker and hamstring‑limited Greg Van Roten on the injury list. Coach Mike Vrabel is weighing whether veteran Greg Van Roten can return. Meanwhile, RB Rhamondre Stevenson’s knee is under MRI review after exiting the 45‑27 loss, leaving the Patriots reliant on backup Corey Kiner and Lan Larison, while second‑year back TreVeyon Henderson remains sidelined. Wideout A.J. Brown may travel to Germany but his game status is still undecided. These gaps could further strain rookie QB Drake Maye’s protection and playmaking as New England seeks continuity on the line and in the backfield.
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs suffers a broken ring finger after it got caught on a Patriots facemask and will undergo surgery. CBS Sports reports he could miss up to three weeks, which includes the Packers' bye week, allowing the team to keep him off injured reserve and preserve scarce IR spots. If placed on IR, Jacobs would miss four games (five weeks with the bye). In his absence, the backfield features MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr., Kaleb Johnson and potentially Chris Brooks, while Lloyd recovers from a knee injury.
Matt LaFleur reveals that Packers rookie running back Josh Jacobs suffered a fractured finger in the opening minutes of the 45-27 win over the New England Patriots on Nov. 9, 2026. Jacobs managed just four carries for five yards before exiting, ending his modest three‑game comeback with only 80 rushing yards total. Green Bay still posted 129 ground yards, thanks to second‑year back Kaleb Johnson’s two rushing touchdowns. Despite the injury, LaFleur hopes to adjust Jacobs’ role once he recovers, while quarterback Jordan Love continues to shoulder the offense.
The 2026 NFL MVP race is now a quarterback showdown between Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Jordan Love as the season hits Week 10. Allen (Buffalo) leads with 1,793 passing yards, 11 TDs and 9 rushing scores, highlighted by a 41‑31 win over Detroit and a 121‑yard rushing performance against the Rams. Burrow (Cincinnati) rides a hot streak, posting a 16‑3 TD‑INT line, a league‑leading 77% completion rate and 2,386 passing yards, though his early season numbers were modest. Love (Green Bay) tops the league in passing yards (2,618) and has logged three 260‑plus yard games, but his efficiency lags behind his peers. Week 10 matchups will determine who pulls ahead in the MVP conversation.
