Packers beat Patriots 45-27 as Broncos set one-score winning record

The Green Bay Packers defeated the New England Patriots 45-27 and the Denver Broncos established an NFL record for consecutive regular-season wins in one-score games during Sunday's week-nine action. According to BBC Sport's report by Ben Collins, Green Bay improved to 6-3, while Denver and the Chicago Bears both reached 7-2 before their bye weeks. Cincinnati also won, beating Atlanta in Madrid.

Watch the highlights:

Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns, adding a rushing touchdown as Green Bay beat last season's Super Bowl runners-up. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden each finished with more than 150 receiving yards and a touchdown, a combination no pair of Packers players had achieved in the same game since 1942. New England conceded its highest home points total since 1970 on the occasion of Rob Gronkowski's induction into the team's hall of fame.

Denver's 26-21 victory at the Carolina Panthers required two fourth-quarter touchdowns. The Broncos then sacked Bryce Young with just over a minute remaining to secure their fifth successive win. It was also their 16th consecutive regular-season victory in games decided by one score, which BBC Sport reported as a new league record. Denver remained top of the AFC West.

Chicago survived four interceptions from Caleb Williams to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24. The Bears had led 14-0 before Tampa Bay eventually tied the score with three minutes left. Williams then moved Chicago into position for Cairo Santos to convert a 38-yard field goal as time expired, delivering the Bears' fourth consecutive victory.

In Spain, Joe Burrow completed 24 of 29 passes for 271 yards and was involved in four touchdowns as Cincinnati defeated Atlanta 34-17 at the Bernabeu Stadium. Ja'Marr Chase collected a season-high 155 receiving yards. Cincinnati scored more than 30 points for a fourth consecutive game, matching a franchise record, and moved to 6-2 alongside Pittsburgh at the top of the AFC North.

San Francisco's 38-17 win over Las Vegas left the 49ers with the league's best record at 7-1. Buffalo or Minnesota could match that mark in Monday's meeting, provided the game does not finish tied. Chicago remained second in the NFC North but would move into first place if Minnesota lost.
