Quick takeaways from Week 9: Indianapolis Colts beat Packers on road with defense

Here are Arthur Arkush's three quick takeaways from the Week Nine late-afternoon slate:

1. Andrew Luck and the Colts' offense would have to be great to go into Lambeau and upset the Packers and their suddenly hot offense, most thought. Well, they thought that because Chuck Pagano's defense entered Week Nine ceding more than 400 yards of offense and 29-plus points per game — both near the bottom of the league.

Then, something funny happened Sunday at Lambeau. Indianapolis' defense, Green Bay's frenzied fourth-quarter comeback notwithstanding, picked up its embattled coach and the Colts' biggest win of the season.
