Overview
- Maye’s first pass was intercepted by safety Xavier McKinney and the turnover set up Jordan Love’s 13‑yard rushing touchdown to open the scoring.
- The Patriots finished the half with three interceptions and Green Bay converted at least two of those turnovers into touchdowns while a fourth pick was dropped just before halftime.
- New England lost cornerback Carlton Davis and right guard Ben Brown to injuries and Green Bay lost running back Josh Jacobs to a hand injury, all of which could affect second‑half lineups.
- The first‑half collapse contrasts with Maye’s October run of improved ball security and efficiency and raises immediate questions about his ability to protect the ball under pressure.
- The game now turns on New England’s second‑half adjustments, the severity of the reported injuries, and whether the Patriots can stop turnovers to regain momentum.
