Packers and Colts tied at 31 entering overtime, Colts prevails after turnover
The Colts finished an eight-play, 50-yard drive with a 32-yard Blankenship 32-yard field goal to tie the game at 28 with 11:12 remaining.
Indianapolis got the ball back when Cassius Marsh stripped Darrius Shepherd of the ball on the ensuing kickoff. The Colts took over at the Green Bay 28.
The Packers' adversity defense held Indianapolis to a 43-yard Blankenship field goal, giving the Colts their first lead of the game, 31-28, with 8:56 remaining.
Green Bay's offense began moving the ball again with Rodgers hitting Valdes-Scantling for nine yards. Jones converted the first down, though officials missed an apparent face mask.
A 14-yard pass to Jones, 10-yard completion to Lazard and 11-yard pass to Adams moved the ball down to the Indianapolis 42. Rodgers found Tonyan for a 7-yard gain on third-and-8 but the Packers turned the ball over on downs at the 34 after an incomplete pass intended for Williams.
The Colts were besieged by offensive holding penalties on their next series, resulting in a third-and-19 situation. They picked up 16 on a screen to Taylor, down to Green Bay's 36.
The Colts chose to go for it on fourth-and-4 with Rivers finding Nines on a 13-yard slant down to Green Bay's 23. Another holding penalty on Indianapolis pushed the Colts back 10 yards on the next first down.
Jaire Alexander broke up a pass intended for Doyle on first-and-20. Yet another holding penalty made it third-and-26, on which Za'Darius Smith hit Rivers to force the incompletion. The Colts sent out the punt team on fourth-and-26 from the Green Bay 39.
The Packers took over at their own 6 with one timeout and 1:25 remaining. Green Bay had two incompletions before Rodgers aired out a 47-yard pass to Valdes-Scantling, needling it through triple coverage to the Indianapolis 47.
Rodgers found Adams on back-to-back completions of 14 and 18 yards down to the Indianapolis 15. Green Bay clocked it with 42 seconds remaining. A Mason Crosby 26-yard field goal tied it at 31 to force overtime.
