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.

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.
