Though they lost in Week 8, the Green Bay Packers seemed to be at a decent place coming into Week 9.

Despite coming in with injuries decimating both sides of the ball and the offense not looking great, the Packers ended up almost stealing away a game few thought they had a chance in behind a great effort and rhythm from the Aaron Rodgers-led offensive unit.

With an seemingly shoddy Indianapolis Colts team coming into Lambeau Field and the team looking better, this appeared to be a romp in the making.

Or so we thought.

Indianapolis jumped out to a quick lead and manhandled the Packers in all facets of the game before holding on for a 31-26 surprise win.

What in the world happened out there? How did the Packers lose so handily to a team most thought they should have blown apart?

Let’s dive into the details.
