The Patriots lost to the Packers 27-24 in overtime on Sunday, dropping the team’s record to 1-3.
Entering the game without Mac Jones (out with an ankle injury), New England was quickly forced to play third-string quarterback Bailey Zappe when backup Brian Hoyer exited with a head injury during the first quarter.
Here are a few takeaways:
Bailey Zappe unexpectedly made his NFL debut.
Hoyer led the Patriots to the opening score of the game (a 37-yard Nick Folk field goal) after a 10-play drive. On the second drive, he was sacked on a third down and immediately exited the field.
