A Mason Crosby 29 yard field goal cut the deficit to four after one quarter of play.
In the second, the Patriots offense put together two straight highlight reel plays but could only come away with a field goal by Stephen Gostkowski from 28 yards out. 10-3 Patriots.

In what became a recurring trend on this night, the Patriots defense made big plays when needed most.

Looking to regain the lead, the Patriots pulled off a some more trickery to keep the Packer defense off balance.

Tom Brady on the trick play:
"I thought no way the ball is getting to me. Next thing you know James is running by me and I said shit, just as he's running by me. I probably could've made a play to get him a touchdown. You live and you learn." pic.twitter.com/ECI9DlpwCw

The Flea Flicker by Brady and Edelman setup James White for his second touchdown of the game and a Patriots lead they wouldn’t relinquish again. 24-17 New England with 10 to play.

Nursing a seven point lead, the Patriots defense stepped up yet again, as Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborn shut down the cheese offense.

Danny Amendola was brought up to Julian Edelman as last pass Edelman threw was to him: “I miss that little joker, but his a ‘phin now, so I don’t like him.”

With 61 catches, #Patriots running back James White is on pace to finish the year with 108.
The #NFL record for RB's in a single season is Matt Forte, with 102 for the #Bears in 2014.
