Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryBrady 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
Cheap Kingsley Keke Jersey , 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, rushing 11 times for 61 yards and a
touchdown .“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 Marquez
Valdes-Scantling in the third quarter that helped set up Rodgers’ 15-yard TD
pass to Jimmy Graham that tied the game at 17. But the pocket got smaller in the
second half as the Patriots defense sped him up, 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

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

draft pick who played his career in the NFL instead."The Green Bay Packers hold
ten draft picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, and for a team that has a storied,
100-year history, they have predictably made selections in the past at every one
of these draft slots. Over the next few days leading up to this year’s draft,
Acme Packing Company will examine the Packers’ history at each current slot for
2019
Kingsley Keke Green Bay Packers Jersey , as well as run down the names of recent picks around the league at the position.The Packers’ final selection in the 2019 NFL
Draft — at least heading into draft weekend — comes in the seventh round, at
number 226 overall. There have been precious few players to make any sort of
impact in the NFL when drafted in that spot, and the most notable 226th pick in
any draft was actually picked there by an AFL team.That player, offensive tackle
Ernie McMillan, was chosen 226th by the AFL’s Boston Patriots, but he also heard
the St. Louis Cardinals call his name in the NFL Draft at 176 overall. McMillan
signed with St. Louis, where he went on to a long, productive career that
included four Pro Bowl appearances. Interestingly, after 14 years with the
Cardinals, McMillan finished his career with one season as the Packers’ starting
left tackle in 1975.Although the Packers and other teams have had some success
with seventh-rounders in years past, don’t expect much if the Packers do make a
pick at 226 this year.Packers’ History at #2261946: Maurice Stacy
