Aaron Rogers threw three touchdowns and had little trouble driving against the much-anticipated defense of the Indianapolis Colts for the long haul of Sunday’s cross-conference romance. But four turnovers sank Green Bay in crushing time, surpassing the multi-score deficit to steal a 34-31 victory in Philip Reverse and Co. overtime. The Colts improved to 7-3 with a Week 11 win, while the Packers fall on the same record as the NFC North.
Here are some immediate takeovers from Sunday’s big indie victory:
Why the Colts won
They did exactly what they needed to do: run the ball and play a good defense. The Green Bay front was no match for Jonathan Taylor and Jordan Wilkins, who gathered 110 yards on the ground and turned the ball – and clock – in Indy’s favor. More importantly, “D”, who at the initial stage was completely and submissively devoted to Aaron Rogers, forced three thunderstorms when he was in most cases and picked up Rogers to dismiss Green Bay for half time. Thread. The most underrated reason of all: Philip Rivers was really good. Yes, he had some of his trademark head-scratchers, but three TDs in a shootout with 288 yards and roders? He looked calm and confident in the big game.
Why the Packers lost
His offense died at half past one. પહેલા હાફમાં જુદા જુદા પોઇન્ટ્સ પર 21-7 અને 28-14 સુધી, ગ્રીન બેએ પછીના બે ક્વાર્ટરમાં ગતિને જાળવી રાખવાનો ઇનકાર કર્યો હતો કાં તો ઇનપોપોર્ટ્યુન સમયે બોલને ખાંસી કરીને અથવા જમીન પર ભાંગી પડ્યો હતો, જ્યાં એરોન જોન્સને ફક્ત 10 વહન મળ્યું હતું. Things on the other side of the ball were no better. Z’Darius Smith had a nice sack that might have been a forced and / or defensive touchdown, and the secondary had a few close picks against the rivers. But he also dropped a handful of big plays and the rivers spread the ball across the field, with players from seven different colts in at least two passes.
Turn
Tie game. Fourth quarter. The Colts set a field goal to knock him down at 28. And then, on the next kickoff, Packers’ Darius Shepherd silenced the ball. Indianapolis took charge of the Packers 28 and went ahead with a field goal of 43 yards. Green Bay eventually sent the game to OT, but this swing of momentum tilted in favor of the Colts forever.
Play the game
It’s Rogers ’choice of rock ya-sin, the Colts Corner practically bursting into the air to steal the ball.
What’s next
The Colts (-3–3) will return home on Sunday for a week after Thanksgiving to match the Tennessee Titans (-3–3) again for a week, which topped the Baltimore Ravens. The Packers (-3–3), meanwhile, will return to Lambau with rivals the Chicago Bears (-5–5) for the “Sunday Night Football.”
