Packers fumble away chance to prove they can take a punch in 34-31 OT loss to Colts

The Packers finally took a punch and fought back, but the Indianapolis Colts still knocked out Green Bay 34-31 after a tragic fumble by Marquez Valdes-Scantling in overtime. Sugar Ray Robinson, arguably the greatest counterpuncher of all time, once said of boxing, “Rhythm is everything in boxing. Every move you make starts with your heart, and that’s in rhythm or you’re in trouble.” Losses this season, seemingly spurred by inflection point moments, raised questions about the Packers ability to not only take a punch but punch back. It was, at its core, a question about their heart.
