For a game supposedly all about the quarterbacks, many other players are stealing the spotlight at the moment.The Patriots just took a 17-10 lead before the half, with wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson rushing for a touchdown in an injury depleted backfield.Patterson has five carries for 51 yards so far Youth Joejuan Williams Jersey , as the Patriots adjust to the absence of Sony Michel.But that was just the beginning of the fireworks.Packers safety Jermaine Whitehead was ejected, after he slapped Patriots center David Andrews across the facemask.After blocking him on the play, Andrews grabbed a handful of Whitehead’s jersey and the two were jawing at each other.
