The New England Patriots suffered one of their worst losses of the season in Week 9, falling to the Green Bay Packers, 45-27.
Green Bay's 45 points were the most that New England's allowed since January 2022, when the Patriots were routed by the Buffalo Bills, 47-17, in the AFC wild card round.
New England also committed five penalties during the setback against the Packers, one game after being called for seven infractions in its sloppy (and surprisingly close) Week 8 victory versus the Miami Dolphins.

Now, with the Patriots preparing for their Week 10 battle against the Detroit Lions on Sunday morning in Germany, defensive tackle Milton Williams is warning his teammates of potential fines for committing penalties.
New England safety Craig Woodson said that he isn't worried about the possibility of teammate-induced fine. He actually explained that he approves of the message.
After facing a historically easy schedule on their way to a Super Bowl appearance last season, the Patriots are now halfway through their four-game slate against the loaded NFC North.
New England not only lost to Green Bay last time out, but fell to the Chicago Bears, 30-24, in Week 7 on "Monday Night Football."

The Patriots will have their bye following the Germany game versus the Lions and conclude their quartet of matchups against the NFL's best division with a "Thursday Night Football" meeting with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14.
At 5-4, New England already has more losses than it did all of last season when the team went 14-3.
The entire NFC North is comfortably above .500, with Chicago pacing the group at 7-2, Detroit and Minnesota sitting at 6-2 and Green Bay holding a 6-3 mark.
Williams played four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles to begin his career and won one Super Bowl title and is now in his second year with the Patriots after signing as a free agent in March 2025.
He was limited to 12 games last season but still finished tied for third on the team in tackles for loss (eight), while ranking fourth in sacks (3.5) and tackles for loss (eight) as well.
Williams has started each of New England's first nine games this fall and registered 21 tackles, three tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and one sack.
