FOXBOROUGH, Mass. If Jordan Love has played a better game than he did on Sunday, he can't remember it.
"It's definitely up there. It felt great," the Packers quarterback said.
Because of it, Green Bay looks like a team capable of staying in the mix in the formidable NFC North.
Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns and ran for a score, and the Packers scored 21 points off four New England Patriots turnovers to roll to a 45-27 win.
Green Bay's receivers had a huge day, with Christian Watson catching seven passes for 171 yards and a TD and Matthew Golden finishing with 10 catches for 164 yards and a score. Kaleb Johnson ran for a touchdown and Savion Williams had a TD catch as Green Bay finished with 478 total yards.
"It's crazy, because I know there's probably a lot more in there," Golden said. "We've still got so many more plays out there to make."
The Packers hadn't scored 45 or more points and had 450 or more yards since Nov. 11, 1962 at Philadelphia.
"We got our (butts) kicked. There's no two ways around it," Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said.
Late in the game, "MVP!" chants for Love could be heard from visiting Packers fans.
"It's a surreal feeling," Love said.
Love completed three passes of at least 43 yards, and seven of 28 or more.
"Those are low-percentage throws in theory, but he's making them look high-percentage," Packers coach Matt LeFleur said. "They're right on the money."
Packers safety Xavier McKinney had a pair of interceptions and Evan Williams also had a pick.
Green Bay entered the day last in the NFL in rushing, averaging 60.6 yards per game, but finished with 129 yards on the ground.
The Packers (6-3) got plenty of help from the Patriots (5-4) as they built a 24-7 lead en route to their fifth win in six games.
New England's Drake Maye took a step backward after weeks of steady play.
