If there was a way to define letting a game slip through your fingers, the Green Bay Packers accomplished it in week 11. Up 14 points over the Indianapolis Colts, the Packers had the chance to put away a worthy opponent to propel them to the upper echelon of this year’s NFL teams. However, a monumental collapse in the second half prevented such an outcome as they fell in overtime 34-31.
Aside from a third quarter in which they ran only six plays, Green Bay’s offense had success against the league’s number one rated defense. The defense forced two turnovers but inevitably left a lot to be desired after allowing 420 yards to the Colts offense.
