Packers vs. Patriots live updates, inactives, where to watch: A.J. Brown, TreVeyon Henderson out for New England as Jordan Love, Drake Maye face off in Week 9

The Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots present what could be Sunday's best matchup with both teams bringing 5-3 records into the game. New England arguably took an easier path to Week 9 with wins over the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins. However, the Patriots also earned a win over the Buffalo Bills before losing to the Chicago Bears. An offense that ranks third in the NFL might provide an edge against a middle-of-the-pack Packers defense. Green Bay faced tougher competition during the past five weeks, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys but losing a key NFC North matchup to the Detroit Lions. Though the NFL season is at its halfway point, the Packers and Patriots each need a win to maintain a hold on the third wild-card playoff spot in their respective conferences. New England is slightly ahead of the Cleveland Browns due to point differential, while Green Bay is one spot in front of the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks (4-4).
