PHOTOS: Packers run wild in win over Colts


A strong running game and defensive performance powered the Green Bay Packers in a 16-10 home-opening win against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, Sept. 15 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. 

The Packers (1-1) ran for 261 yards, 237 in the first half alone. Josh Jacobs accounted for 151 of those yards on 32 carries. Backup quarterback Malik Willis threw his first-career touchdown pass in the first quarter to Dontayvion Wicks as Willis filled in for the injured Jordan Love. The Packers controlled the football with over 40 minutes of possession. Green Bay turned the Colts (0-2) over three times with three interceptions of quarterback Anthony Richardson. 

The Packers hit the road to play the Tennessee Titans (0-2) on Sunday, Sept. 22 with a noon kickoff.
