Points are the name of the game, and the Green Bay Packers scored a season-high 45 during Sunday's impressive win over the New England Patriots. The 45 points were the most scored by an opponent in the history of Gillette Stadium, which opened in 2002. And the Packers beat the Patriots on the road for the first time since...2002.
Five more stats from Packers-Patriots:
153.2: Jordan Love's passer rating, which set a new career high. A "perfect" passer rating is 158.3. Love's passer rating was the highest by a Packers quarterback since Aaron Rodgers finished at 158.3 against the Raiders in 2019. Love completed 23 passes for 372 yards, averaging 12.8 yards per attempt, and had three touchdown passes.
335: Combined receiving yards from Christian Watson
and Matthew Golden. Both Watson (171) and Golden (164) set new career-highs for receiving yards in a game. They also became the first Packers receiver pair to produce at least 150 receiving yards and a touchdown in a game, and the first in the NFL since 2023. Through nine games, Watson and Golden are both on pace for over 1,400 receiving yards.
22: Points scored off four takeaways from the Packers defense. Xavier McKinney's first interception set up a 14-yard scoring drive to open the game. After the fourth and final takeaway, Christian Watson caught a 39-yard touchdown pass on the very next play to essentially seal the deal. The Packers won the turnover battle 4-0 and now have multiple takeaways in six straight games.
6: Number of completions on throws of at least 20 air yards from Jordan Love, who created 235 of his 372 passing yards on deep throws, per Next Gen Stats. Love stands alone as a deep passer; he owns the only two games by a quarterback with at least six completions of at least 20 air yards in the NFL this season. Watson (four for 143 yards) and Golden (two for 92 yards) caught all six of the deep completions.
7/7: Trey Smack's kicking performance. The rookie missed way too many kicks during the month of October. But on Sunday, he was perfect, connecting on all four extra points and three field goals, including a 51-yarder. Smack produced 13 of the Packers' 45 points. Can the rookie finally settle in and avoid the drastic ups and downs?
