INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts offense received some much-deserved praise for closing out Sunday's 31-26 victory at Green Bay. But the defense also carried its fair share of the load for most of the evening.
Indianapolis held prolific Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in check for the better part of three quarters and limited the damage from a pair of early turnovers by its own signal caller Andrew Luck.
The most impressive stand came at the start of the third quarter.
The Colts forced a fumble and appeared to recover only to have the ball ruled dead because it allegedly made contact with a player who was out of bounds.
