Late fumble, injuries, ejection doom Packers in loss to Patriots

A combination of factors led to the Packers' demise at the hands of the New England Patriots on Sunday night, as Green Bay lost a late fumble with the score tied at 17 and also suffered several injuries and an ejection that all contributed to a 31-17 loss.

Aaron Jones' fumble was hardly the only play that sent the Packers to defeat, but it was one of the key turning points in a tie game which allowed New England to pull away to victory.

Aaron Rodgers managed a two-touchdown game despite heavy pressure all night long from the Patriots, taking several big hits and at times wincing after being sacked or hit on throws in the loss.

Several Packers were injured during the game, including Kevin King, Brian Bulaga, Blake Martinez, and Jaire Alexander.
