Frank Reich’s Indianapolis Colts pulled off a major upset on Sunday as they made their way to a narrow 34-31 OT win over Green Bay Packers. The visitors looked in control of the game, thanks to some impressive link-ups between Aaron Rodgers and wideouts, Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

But a fumble in OT from Valdes-Scantling after a tackle from Julian Blackmon changed the tide of the tie. Colts kicker Rodrigo Blankenship’s 39-yard field goal sealed the win for the home side and condemned the visitors to their 3rd defeat of the season.

“Playing against the great quarterbacks of all the time, I played against a lot of them, I’ve been on the sideline so I don’t like to say I played against him but I don’t like to miss it.

“I mean, it’s awesome. Um, so you’re pulling for your defence, but yeah, just trying to respect him and his career,” Rivers said after the game.
