Colts, Packers attempt to bounce back from season-opening losses
Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — Anthony Richardson says the Indianapolis Colts may have been a little too eager on offense as they kept throwing deep in a season-opening loss to the Houston Texans. Green Bay likely will be playing without quarterback Jordan Love, who hasn’t been practicing this week after injuring his left medial collateral ligament on the third-to-last play of the Packers’ 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Green Bay gained 414 yards — the third-highest total by any NFL team in the opening week — but hurt itself against Philadelphia by committing 10 penalties and squandering red zone opportunities. Indianapolis’ run defense will have to perform much better Sunday to have a realistic chance of beating the Packers, who ran for 163 yards on just 21 carries against the Eagles. The 2021 NFL rushing leader attended college at Wisconsin and was a two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nation’s top college running back.
