Green Bay had the ball in field goal range Womens Elandon Roberts Jersey , on the cusp of breaking a fourth-quarter tie, when Patriots lineman Lawrence Guy knocked the ball out of Aaron Jones' grasp .Instead of taking their first lead of the game, the Packers watched the Patriots march to back-to-back scores and put away a 31-17 victory on Sunday night."It was obviously a big play in the game," Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. "That was a turning point."One week after fumbling away a late chance to defeat the then-unbeaten Los Angeles Rams, the Packers blew another fourth-quarter opportunity against the defending AFC champions, and Tom Brady 鈥?with some passing help from receiver Julian Edelman 鈥?led the Patriots to their sixth straight win."Jonesy's had a really nice year for us http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-devin-mccourty-jersey , so that one play obviously doesn't lose the game," quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "But it's plays like that 鈥?by all of us, myself included 鈥?that have just hindered us from finishing games out."In just the second matchup ever between Brady, a three-time NFL MVP, and Rodgers, who has won the award twice Kevin Faulk Jersey , Green Bay (3-4-1) played the Patriots even for 45 minutes before Jones' fumble stalled their best chance to take the lead."It's happening in the worst times," said Rodgers, who completed 24 of 43 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns. "When we have to play our best in those crunch times, we haven't been playing our best."Brady completed four passes in a row before tossing it back to Edelman, who threw across the field to James White.

When the Patriots acquired defensive end Michael Bennett last month, they did so by trading their 2020 fifth-round pick to the Eagles for Bennett and a 2020 seventh-round pick. That’s the kind of move the Patriots love.In fact, since 2014 the Patriots have made 14 trades that involved a veteran player switching teams for swap of draft picks within two rounds of each other http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-james-white-jersey , according to the . That’s by far the most such trades in the NFL; no other team has even made seven such trades.In addition to Bennett, the Patriots acquired Kyle Van Noy and Jason McCourty, two key players on their defense, that way. Last year the Patriots acquired offensive tackle Trent Brown in such a trade, they got a good year out of him and this year he left for free agency, getting a big contract from the Raiders that will net the Patriots a third-round compensatory pick next year.Bill Belichick understands that the difference in talent between a fifth-round pick and a seventh-round pick isn’t much Matthew Slater Jersey , so he doesn’t mind moving down on the third day of the draft if he can pick up a veteran player in the process.
