Big turnover, trick play pace Patriots past Packers

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- There was a playoff vibe in Sunday night’s thoroughly entertaining and highly competitive game between the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots.

There was razzle-dazzle on offense in the fourth quarter -- Julian Edelman throwing a cross-the-field pass to running back James White, who ran 37 yards to set up the go-ahead touchdown. Yes, the old Kent State quarterback still can sling it.
