Packers 34, Colts 14
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers intercepted two passes by Peyton Manning and returned them for touchdowns in a 34-14 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Aaron Rodgers, playing with a sprained right shoulder for the third consecutive game, completed 21 of 28 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown.
Ryan Grant had his first 100-yard game this season, carrying 31 times for 105 yards and a touchdown for the Packers (4-3).
Manning, other than the two interceptions, completed 21 of 42 passes for 229 yards. It’s the worst start for the Colts (3-3) since 2001, the last time they didn’t qualify for the playoffs. It’s also their first loss in the month of October since a 2004 game against Kansas City.
Quoteworthy: “There was no doubt we needed to be 4-3 going into this bye.” -- Aaron Rodgers, Packers quarterback
