The Colts took a 14-10 lead into the half, and extended the lead to 24-10 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Packers made a valiant effort at a comeback in the fourth quarter, capping a 75-yard drive with a Davante Adams touchdown and executing another 80-yard drive that culminated in a Randall Cobb touchdown. Still, it wasn’t enough to fend off the Colts.
The Colts took an early advantage with a 99-yard kick return for a touchdown on the opening play of the game. Jordan Todman took the Mason Crosby kick all the way to the house to give Indianapolis a 7-0 lead to start the game.
But Indianapolis had to overcome some mistakes to get the upset victory over the Packers. Andrew Luck threw two interceptions in the first quarter alone, both to Green Bay safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.
Aaron Rodgers had a solid day, finishing with 297 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception, but the Colts managed to sack him three times.
The Colts went into this matchup with a road record of 1-3, but they didn’t play like it in Green Bay.
