The New England Patriots got blown out at Gillette Stadium by a 45-27 margin when facing the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
It was an ugly performance for the Patriots, who gave up double-digit points in every quarter but the fourth. That includes a whopping 18 points in the third quarter.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye didn't have his best game, going 21-of-38 passing for 299 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. The lone bright spot for the team was wide receiver DeMario Douglas, who hauled in five receptions for 102 yards on the day.
And then there's the defense.
The Patriots' unit came into the game ranked top 10 in the league and got lit up by quarterback Jordan Love and the Packers' offense. Packers wide receiver Christian Watson
had seven receptions for 171 yards and one touchdown, while Matthew Golden hauled in 10 receptions for 164 yards and one touchdown.
Many of those receptions came with Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez in coverage. It was one of the worst performances we've seen by the unit at home in quite some time. Overall, the Patriots allowed 478 total yards of offense to the Packers.
Here's how social media reacted to the loss:
The radio broadcasters on the #GBvsNE was wondering if Vrabel would remember the Packers going for two when they were up 40-21 and they said yes.

I think a better question is will Vrabel still the Patriots HC the next time they play the Packers?
People were really saying Drake Maye is better than Joe Burrow LOL #packers #patriots #bengals

Halfway thru the season & the Patriots are not a playoff team. Inconsistency, injuries, mid defense, no run game, not a single good thing going for the team at all rn. Drake Maye looks painfully average compared to last year, the amount of INTs is very concerning at this point.…

The Patriots should feel embarrassed after the game against the Packers

Drake Maye 3INTs. Gonzo getting cooked. The D looking awful. Just an absolute horrendous game by the Patriots. With that being said the Packers are a legitimate team that still aren’t getting the respect. They could legitimately be a Super Bowl team. They are playing great ball

That was the worst game on Gonzo’s career and it’s not remotely close, love the guy but that was UGLY
