Complementary football helps Packers steal win with backup QB

The Green Bay Packers used a complementary performance from the offense, defense and special teams to steal a 16-10 win with backup quarterback Malik Willis starting Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

The home opener at Lambeau Field wasn’t always pretty, but the Packers did what was required to win an important football game without Jordan Love under center.

The offense ran for 261 yards, held the ball for over 40 minutes and converted 10 third downs, while Willis completed 86 percent of his passes, had a third-down touchdown pass and didn’t have a turnover or take a sack.
