Any Given Sunday: Colts Over Packers

On pure talent, and even on a pure play-by-play basis, the Colts' 31-26 win in Green Bay was an odd score.

While Indianapolis' special teams have been pretty good in recent years, they have not often been good in this way. The last time they returned a kickoff for a touchdown was Deji Karim's 101-yarder to help defeat the Texans in 2012, in a completely meaningless game for the Colts that wound up forcing the front-running Texans down to the No.
