Additional Information: The Patriots provide an incredible breakdown on their website.
The New England Patriots faced the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau last season, and Green Bay squeaked away a victory. The Packers lost in the NFC Championship game to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Packers provide a quality match-up for the Patriots as their vast array of receiving weapons will immediately reveal the quality of the New England secondary.
Look for the New England rookies to see plenty of time on the field, and for Jimmy Garoppolo to play a large majority of the game, in order to give them as much NFL quality playing time as possible prior to week 1 of the regular season.
