Live Coverage: Patriots booed after miserable first quarter, Packers take two-score lead
New England ended the first quarter down 14-0.
The New England Patriots will cap off a weekend that included Rob Gronkowski's induction into the team's Hall of Fame and a celebration of the 2016 championship team when they play the Green Bay Packers during Week 9.
New England is once again without A.J. Brown and will rely on Drake Maye to overcome their depleted wide receiver corps. Maye will have Mack Hollins back and Hunter Henry will play.
