Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden redeemed himself immediately after dropping a pass in the end zone during Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. Golden dropped a potential pass in the end zone, which led to a third-and-13 situation for the Packers offense. On the very next play, quarterback Jordan Love came back to Golden, who hauled in a touchdown pass in the end zone. (Greg Mellis | Green & Gold Express)

History: Far and away the most famous matchup between these two teams came after the 1996 season.

Super Bowl XXXI saw Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers match up against Drew Bledsoe and the New England Patriots. Favre hit Andre Rison early for a touchdown pass to give the Packers an early 7-0 lead. Eventually they fell behind 14-10, but Favre hit Antonio Freeman for another big play to give them a 17-14 lead.

The Packers would never trail again thanks to the heroics of Desmond Howard. A 99-yard kick return for a touchdown iced the game and helped Howard earn MVP honors.

Overall, the Packers lead the series 7-6. The last time these two teams met came in 2022 when Aaron Rodgers led a game-winning drive in overtime that Mason Crosby finished off with a game-winning field goal.

The last time these two teams met in Foxborough, Rodgers faced Tom Brady on Sunday Night Football. The Packers were competitive but ultimately fell short, losing 31-17.

Coaches: Packers, Matt LaFleur, eighth season, 80-42-1. Patriots, Mike Vrabel, second season, 54-45 overall.
