The Patriots went toe to toe with the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, falling in overtime after fighting hard behind third-string rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe, who was thrust into the game after starting backup Brian Hoyer went down with an injury.
Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers started slow but got hot late, as the teams traded scores in the second half to send the game to overtime. The teams both saw possessions in the extra session, but on their second the Packers put together a final drive that set up a game-winning field goal. Green Bay iced it with a 31-yard kick, winning 27-24.
