The Green Bay Packers evened their record at 1-1 after two games by accomplishing one of the more difficult tasks in pro football: winning a game with an inexperienced backup quarterback. Malik Willis started for Jordan Love and was protected by the plan but efficient overall, and the Packers used a dynamic rushing performance and disruptive defensive effort to create a 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Complementary football got the job done. Instead of starting 0-2, the Packers showed their mettle by rallying around Willis, who arrived in Green Bay just 19 days before starting on Sunday.
