The Indianapolis Colts are facing the Green Bay Packers with a 0-1 record so far this season. A significant advantage for the Colts is the absence of Packers quarterback Jordan Love due to a knee injury, leading to backup Malik Willis starting against a formidable Colts defense. Renowned defenders like DeForest Buckner and Kwity Paye will pose challenges for the Packers’ offense.
The Colts aim for a strong defensive performance, especially after allowing a considerable rushing yardage previously. Despite Malik Willis's struggles as a passer, his running ability could be a factor. Additionally, Colts' defense must be wary of the potential contributions from Packers' receiver Jayden Reed, who had a stellar week one.
Indianapolis, while viewed as favorites on paper, must stay vigilant. The matchup’s outcome may hinge on how well the Colts can contain the Packers' rushing attack despite their roster challenges. The game is crucial for the Colts to avoid starting the season with two consecutive losses.
