It’s Green Bay’s second straight win of three points or less and the Packers’ first win against New England since 2014.
Reigning Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers put on a show with 21 completions for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

ESPN tweeted, “Mr. 500. Aaron Rodgers becomes the fifth player in NFL history with 500 TD passes (regular season and postseason).”
The historic touchdown came in the fourth quarter when he completed a 13-yard pass to rookie Romeo Doubs.
Rodgers is the second Packers quarterback on the list, and he is just 52 touchdowns away from Brett Favre.
At the third spot is Peyton Manning with 579 touchdowns, while Drew Brees has 608.
Tom Brady tops the list with 713 touchdowns (and counting).
Rodgers has thrown 455 touchdown passes in 217 regular season games.
Meanwhile, he has 45 touchdowns in 22 postseason games.
Rodgers threw touchdown number 499 to tight end Robert Tonyan in the third quarter.
The four-time NFL MVP has 89 completions for 935 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions through four games.
Packers Heating Up
Alarm bells rang when the Packers lost their season-opener for the second straight year, this time against the division rival Minnesota Vikings.
During that game, Rodgers was livid on the sidelines due to their futility.
But they have found a groove after re-affirming that Rodgers still owns the Chicago Bears.
A week later, the Packers carved a hard-fought win against Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Packers will look to make it four victories in a row in Week 5 versus the New York Giants.
