Game Preview
After a much-needed road victory over the Buccaneers in Week 3, the Packers return home Sunday to face the 1-2 Patriots in Week 4. Sunday marks the first time these two franchises have met since Tom Brady left the Patriots in 2020 and the 12th meeting all-time.
The Patriots lead the all-time series over the Packers with a 6-5 record. In the last meeting between these two teams in November of 2018, the Patriots won 31-17. Green Bay’s last win in this series came back in November of 2014, as the Packers notched a 26-21 home victory over the eventual Super Bowl XLIX champs.
Green Bay clearly put its Week 1 loss to Minnesota in the rearview, posting back-to-back wins to get the Packers right back in the NFC North race. While it didn’t necessarily translate to the scoreboard, Green Bay’s offense was effective enough against a well-rounded Buccaneers defense, logging 315 yards on 5.2 yards per play in last Sunday’s 14-12 win.
The Packers could have easily scored 20-plus points had Aaron Jones not fumbled on the Buccaneers’ one-yard line in the second quarter. Can the Packers do enough to get to 3-1 in the early season? Well, there are a few important things that we have to consider heading into this game.
First and most importantly, not having Mac Jones is crucial in the Patriots’ chances of staying competitive, as indicated by the Packers sitting as clear favorites. New England’s defense is capable of keeping it competitive, but with its offense being close to one-dimensional, it’s unlikely the Pats keep up with the Packers over four quarters.
While it’s likely the Patriots lean on their ground game even more so, they’re still going to need to make plays through the air in what projects to be a difficult game for them. The past two weeks have seen WRs Nelson Agholor and DeVante Parker step up in the passing game, though it might not be just enough.
