Due to an unfortunate turn of events on Sunday, the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers suffered their 3rd defeat of the season at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts. The Packers looked in control as the game went into overtime.

However, Frank Reich’s defensive stars had other plans. After a strong first half, the Packers looked like they were on their way to another win on Sunday. But the Colts scored 17-straight points at the very start of the second half to force the game into OT.

Humans are gonna make mistakes. There’s no way around that … as long as I’m happy with God and God is happy with me, I could care less what a man has to say about me,” Valdes-Scantling said via Matt Schneidman.

On 3 receptions, MVS had 55 receiving yards in last night’s loss to the Colts. He’s been a crucial cog in the Packers’ offense this season, especially due to injuries to stars like Davante Adams and Allen Lazard.
