The Patriots vs Packers is a Week 9 clash in the NFL 2026 between two sides with 5-3 records with realistic playoff ambitions but deprived of key starters. Mike Vrabel and Matt LaFleur know this game at Gillette Stadium, will be all about fine margins, but one that both sides need to win if they're to remain in the hunt for the postseaon.
New England returns to Foxborough after two successive road games, with the 24-19 win in Miami last weekend an exercise in getting the job done. The Pats started slowly against the Dolphins and a better side would have led by more than 10 points. Time to step up. The Patriots defense has been crucial all year, but it's the midseason turnaround in Drake Maye's form that has helped deliver four wins in five outings. After a torrid start, the quarterback has thrown three touchdowns in each of those five, beginning with the 29-26 victory over the Bills. Star receiver AJ Brown is questionable.
Bottom of the stacked NFC North, the Packers still have game after beating the Panthers 27-19 last weekend. Jordan Love leads all quarterbacks for yardage this season, with Christian Watson, Matthew Golden and tight end Tucker Kraft his key targets, but beyond that trio, output has been mixed and Green Bay has a limited run offense. Star edge rusher Micah Parsons remains on IR, but was back in practice this week as his recovery from ACL surgery continues. Edgerrin Cooper, Jayden Reed and Jacob Monk are also all out.
