The Colts won the opening coin toss and forfeited. Josh Jacobs did much of the work on the Packers’ first series, rushing for 49 yards on three carries. His 34-yard run came on first-and-20 to put Green Bay in Indianapolis territory.

Malik Willis, starting in place of Jordan Love, completed a pass in the flat zone to Jayden Reed, but he failed to gain ground on third and seventh attempts. The Packers settled for a 46-yard field goal by Brayden Narveson and took a 3-0 lead with 10 minutes and 30 seconds left.

Green Bay earned a three-and-out on its first defensive stand when Isaiah McDuffie caused an incomplete pass on a third-and-7 checkdown by Jonathan Taylor in the flat.

The Packers started the game with Reed lining up with Jacobs in the backfield, leading to a 22-yard run to open the next drive. Three consecutive runs by Jacobs gained 12 yards and brought the offense to the Colts’ 48-yard line.

Emanuel Wilson rushed four yards forward on third and two before receiver Bo Melton reversed and ran 16 yards to Indianapolis’ 20 yard line.

Jacobs nearly scored a 20-yard touchdown on the next play, but it was called back because of a holding penalty on left tackle Rasheed Walker. Willis gained 12 yards on a designed scramble to set up third-and-4 from the Colts’ 14-yard line.

On the next play, Willis threw the first touchdown pass of his career, hitting Dontayvion Wicks on the flat play. The second-year receiver extended the pass into the end zone and scored.

Narveson’s extra point was partially blocked but still flew through the goal posts and gave the Packers a 10-0 lead with 3:18 minutes left in the first quarter. The 82-yard, 11-play offensive run took 6:21 minutes.

Indianapolis started quickly and gained 30 yards in two plays, but Richardson airmailed a long ball to Alec Pierce, which Packers safety Xavier McKinney intercepted and returned 18 yards to the Green Bay Packers 31-yard line.

Green Bay reached 150 rushing yards in the first quarter thanks to a 15-yard run by Reed. Jacobs then moved the chains again with two 13-yard runs to the Indianapolis 41-yard line.
