Game Recap: Packers Escape Zappe-d Up Patriots 27-24

Up-and-down effort ends with Crosby saving the day in OT.

The Patriots offense came out first, led by veteran Brian Hoyer in place of the injured Mac Jones. The run game game early and often, led by running back Damien Harris. After Harris rushed four times for 22 yards on the drive, Hoyer connected with receiver Nelson Agholor off a play-action pass for a gain of 27 yards, just getting the pass off before Jonathan Garvin took him down for a sack. The Packers' D then stiffened up in their own red zone, forcing Hoyer incomplete on 3rd-and-8, forcing a Nick Folk field goal of 37 yards.
