This could also be their last.We have our pregame show, game details, and live details below!Patriots pregame showGame detailsLive updatesPregameWhat the Patriots have to do to beat the Packers: Offense | DefenseGameday inactives: No Rob Gronkowski or Sony Michel.Q1The Green Bay Packers won the opening coin toss and elected to receive in the second half so the New England Patriots receiving the opening kick. 10 plays later, Tom Brady tossed the ball to James White, who scampered in for an 8-yard touchdown run. White had 3 carries for 18 yards and 3 catches for 26 yards as the Patriots are without Sony Michel. Phillip Dorsett added 2 catches for 13 yards. The Patriots lead 7-0 after a blazing-fast 3:20 opening drive.The Packers took the field and led a methodical drive down to the 10-yard line of the Patriots with Aaron Rodgers and Packers gaining more than 10 yards on a play just once in the entire drive. The Patriots buckled down in the red zone and forced the Packers to kick a field goal, to hold on to a 7-3 lead. New England did a good job not allowing Rodgers to escape the pocket and the pressure got thisclose to the quarterback. Hopefully they’ll get home later in the game.The Patriots wanted to respond, but a Julian Edelman drop and a sack by Mike Daniels- who blew past Ted Karras, in the line-up to replace the injured Shaq Mason- forced the Patriots to punt. Ryan Allen did a good job pinning the Packers on the 13-yard line.The Packers drove past midfield, but excellent coverage by Jason McCourty and a well-timed blitz by Devin McCourty forced Green Bay to punt the ball back to New England. Edelman collected the ball on the 12-yard line with 14 seconds left in the quarter. This game is flying.The Patriots picked up two first downs- one via penalty and one via a great run by Cordarrelle Patterson- before the end of the quarter. New England has the ball on their own 28-yard line to start the second quarter.Q2Brady found Josh Gordon for 29 yards to kick off the second quarter and then called the flea flicker to hit Edelman for 33 yards to get to the Packers 10-yard line. A rush for no gain by White and two consecutive incomplete passes (the second down pass felt a little hurried for no reason) forced New England to settle for a 28-yard field goal and a 10-3 lead.The Packers went three-and-out (!!!) thanks to great coverage by Stephon Gilmore and good pressure by Adam Butler- and an outstanding job by Butler of not allowing Rodgers to escape around the edge for a first. The Patriots will start their next drive on the 27-yard line.The Patriots went three-and-out in response, with two targets to James Develin and an acrobatic non-catch by Josh Gordon where his second foot was called out of bounds. Whenever you’re throwing the ball to Develin, your offense is digging deep into the playbook. It also feels like a waste of a play. Tip of the cap to the Green Bay Packers offense. Rodgers and company led a 13-play, 79-yard drive capped off with a touchdown pass from Rodgers to Davante Adams. The Patriots need to find an answer to the Packers ground game, with Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combining for 68 yards on 12 carries (5.67 YPC) so far, setting up favorable second and third down situations for the Packers offense. The Patriots have otherwise done a pretty good job against the Green Bay passing offense.Who is this Cordarrelle Patterson? James White tweaked his leg on the Patriots final drive of the half and the Patriots put Patterson on the field, who promptly gained 40 rushing yards and a touchdown on his four-straight carries. New England regained the lead at 17-10, but they left 1:57 with three timeouts for Rodgers and the Packers. This half isn’t over by a long shot.The Patriots also picked up an extra 15 yards because of an Unsportsmanlike Penalty against the Packers James Develin Jersey , which saw DB/LB Jermaine Whitehead ejected for slapping David Andrews in the helmet. Andrews definitely started the extracurricular contact after the play, but Whitehead went for the head and was caught.Outstanding defense by the New England Patriots, including an open-field tackle of Randall Cobb by Jonathan Jones and a forced fumble by Adrian Clayborn on Aaron Rodgers forced Green Bay to punt. New England kneeled down the ball to end the half with a 17-10 lead.The Patriots have been forced to make-do without Rob Gronkowski and Sony Michel and they’ve been doing well-enough so far. Patterson has 51 rushing yards and a touchdown on 5 carries; White has 53 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 9 touches. Edelman has 53 yards on 3 catches. It will be interesting to see if Patterson can continue to be successful rushing the ball in the second half, and whether or not any of the Patriots receivers can emerge as a reliable target.On the other side of the ball, the Patriots have held Aaron Rodgers to 16 completions on 27 attempts (59.3%) for only 123 yards and a touchdown. That’s an outstanding effort by the Patriots pass defense, which is clearly an emphasis for New England. It seems like the Patriots are focusing on stopping the pass, which is why the Packers running backs have 75 rushing yards on 13 carries (5.77 YPC). The Patriots would rather the Packers win on the ground than through the air.The Packers get the ball after the half.Q3Oof. On 3rd-and-6, Rodgers found rookie receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling for 51 yards on the inside of Jason McCourty, who was stuck on an island without any safety help. Aaron Jones picked up 16 yards on his next two carries to get to the Patriots 5-yard line, but a holding call pushed the Packers backwards. It was all for nothing as Rodgers found Jimmy Graham for a 15-yard touchdown to tie the game at 17.Double oof. The Patriots had an outstanding drive with Gordon picking up 31 yards and Dwayne Allen (!!) picking up 21 yards. The Patriots made it to the Packers goal line, but James White was stuffed on first down, Patterson was stuffed on second down, and Brady was incomplete on third and fourth down. The Patriots end up with zero points and give the Packers the ball on the 1-yard line.The Patriots defense forced an impressive three-and-out, but a holding call by Jonathan Jones on special teams pushed New England back 10 yards. Brady was sacked for an 11-yard loss to set up 4th-and-21, but a roughing-the-kicker penalty gave the Patriots new life. Patterson picked up 7 yards, but an ugly throw to nobody by Brady forced the Patriots to punt again. Allen pinned the Packers on their 7-yard line.Apparently Valdes-Scantling is Jerry Rice? Rodgers round Valdes-Scantling for 24 yards on 3rd-and-1 with J.C. Jackson in near-perfect coverage, and then connected again for 26 yards over Jonathan Jones in solid coverage to get to the Patriots 34-yard line to close out the third quarter.Q4How quickly fortune changes! Lawrence Guy forced the fumble on Aaron Jones and Stephon Gilmore recovered the ball on the 23-yard line. Brady found Phillip Dorsett for 17 yards on third down to extend the drive and Julian Edelman threw a pass to James White that picked up 37 yards to the Packers goal line. White plunged in for the score and a 24-17 lead. White has 103 yards from scrimmage and 2 touchdowns. Not a bad day.That’s one way to help close out the game. Jason McCourty made an outstanding pass break-up on second down and Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborn split a 9-yard sack on third down to force a three-and-out and give the Patriots the opportunity to both drain the clock and extend their lead.How about that? Julian Edelman rushed for 17 yards around the edge Womens LaAdrian Waddle Jersey , James White was stuffed for no gain, and then Brady connected with Gordon for a 55-yard touchdown to take a 31-17 lead.Ballgame? The Patriots defense rose to the occasion yet again, forcing the Packers to three third down attempts before they crossed midfield. Clayborn generated a ton of pressure (including a strip-sack called back for a penalty), and Rodgers’ fourth down prayer fell incomplete, giving the Patriots the ball back at midfield with 3:48 left in the game and a chance to ice it.And they do it! What a gorgeous fourth quarter from the Patriots on both sides of the ball. Brady found Gordon for 15 yards and Patterson ran twice for 5 yards to burn the Packers’ remaining time outs. Edelman picked up 11 yards on an end-around to get to the two-minute warning and end the game.The Patriots win 31-17 and move to 7-2. They are on the road next week to face the (3-4) Tennessee Titans.

EDTShareTweetShareShareThe Top 20 Patriots Moments of 2018: Number 15Stew Milne-USA TODAY SportsIt’s time to turn our focus to the 2018 NFL Draft; over the next week or two, the Pulpit is going to be full of draft prospects, breakdowns, player analyses, and all that good stuff. And that means we’re well into the offseason by now, so I better get a move on with my countdown of the Top 20 Most Memorable Patriots Moments of 2018. The list so far:20. Danny Etling gets half of the Giants fired with an 86 yard touchdown run.19. The Patriots demolish the Jets at home to secure a playoff bye.18. Julian Edelman bounces off a Bill and into the end zone on a 4th down conversion.17. Some punt team acrobatics keep the Steelers from getting a touchback.16. Gronk magic returns with a 34 yard touchdown seam route catch against the New York Jets.Our Number 16 Moment saluted one of New England’s big men; time to give some credit to another one.15. James Develin finds the end zone twice against the Minnesota Vikings.The Vikings team that came to Gillette Stadium on December 2nd, 2018 had just taken out a Green Bay Packers team that was supposed to be in contention for the NFC Championship when the season first kicked off. The Vikings were also supposed to be in that conversation, but neither team was quite living up to expectations that year. Still, at 6-4-1, the Vikings were right in the playoff hunt and needed a win to keep pace with Chicago. The Patriots were sitting at 8-3, fresh of a win at the Jets, and looking to come into December with one of their trademark win streaks to close out the season.And things couldn’t have started much better for the Patriots; after forcing a Minnesota punt http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-malcolm-mitchell-jersey , New England went 81 yards on 8 plays, mainly through the air as Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, and Cordarrelle Patterson, all made big grabs to set the Patriots up with a 1st and goal at the 1.Unfortunately, Sony Michel wasn’t able to punch it in on 1st down, in spite of New England coming out in a jumbo package.One 2nd down, they decided to go even more jumbo.The Patriots came out in the same package - but instead of handing it to Michel again, Tommy B handed it off to all 255 pounds of fullback James Develin, who plowed directly into the end zone for six. That carry would represent 1/13th of the total carries Develin has had in his career. The Patriots took the lead, and they would never give it up.However, until midway through the 4th quarter, it was still a one score game. New England was holding onto a 17-10 lead when they forced a punt and began the drive that would ultimately put the game away for good. Tommy B once again drove the offense all the way down the field, setting up a 1st and goal at the two yard line. This time, instead of even trying Sony Michel again, he went to Develin on the first try, where the big man dove into the end zone for his second touchdown of the game. Develin finished the day with four carries for five yards and two TDs.The Patriots would win the game 24-10 and coast the rest of the way following the Develin score to an easy W.Are two touchdowns of one and two yards respectively amazing highlight material? No way. But is this worthy of the Top 20? Absolutely. Players like James Develin rarely get the credit they deserve; it’s Develin’s job to charge through gaps Dwayne Allen Jersey , opening up holes for the running backs. He chips at the line and helps with blitz pickup. He motions out wide as a dummy receiver, possibly Tom Brady’s last option if the play breaks down. He has 13 career rushes for 23 yards and five touchdowns since 2012. Six of those rushes came in 2018. So last season saw Develin double his carries and get in the end zone for the first time (in the regular season) since 2013. Most of the time he’s busy making Michel look like a rookie all-star or making sure Brady stays upright. How can you not love a player like that?Not only that, but you won’t get a more prototypical Patriot than James Develin. Undrafted in 2010, he bounced around the AFL and UFL before ending up on the Bengals practice squad. Waived by Cincy in 2012, the Patriots picked him up for their practice squad. He played one game during that season, a loss to the 49ers. Develin was actually released in 2013, but quickly re-signed and earned a starting FB role. He has been a cornerstone of the offense ever since - a hard working, team-first guy who followed his dream, never gave up, seized opportunity, and has become, in my opinion, at least, one of the most memorable players of this second incarnation of the Patriots dynasty. So I’m proud to give him a spot on my countdown at Number 15.Game highlights here.And here are some bonus James Develin highlights for you.
