39. Packers 34, Colts 14 (2008)

Green Bay was coming in at 3-3 after having won in Seattle the previous week, while Indianapolis was an uncharacteristic 3-2 after having dropped its first two home games of the year. However, the Colts were back on track after winning their last two, including a 31-3 destruction of the Baltimore Ravens the week before. Green Bay would use a scoring flurry and two pick sixes to not only beat Indianapolis, but dominate them.

Green Bay was able to strike first with three, followed by a Colts touchdown to put Indianapolis ahead for the first and last time of the game. It was 7-3 after the first quarter, but the Packers were on the march, aided by a Tim Jennings pass interference penalty, which was drawn by Greg Jennings. The Packers were able to punch it in on an Aaron Rodgers pass to Donald Lee in front of two Colts defenders and Green Bay had the lead once again.

After an Indianapolis punt, Green Bay went on an 89-yard drive that lasted nearly seven minutes, ending with a Ryan Grant 11-yard touchdown run. Donald Driver got the drive started out right for the Packers, catching a 24-yard pass. Other than converting a 4th-and-1, Green Bay did not even face a third down on the drive. On the touchdown, Grant found a gaping hole and blasted through virtually untouched on his way to the end zone. It was 17-7 at the half.

Indianapolis was poised to jump right back into the game, as it received the ball to start the second half and drove across midfield where it faced a third down. Peyton Manning’s pass was intended for an open Reggie Wayne, but it bounced off his hands and into the arms of Packers safety Nick Collins. The Green Bay defensive back ran down the right sideline, eluding the tackle attempt by Dallas Clark at the 35 before cutting back and splitting Colts players to go into the end zone for the touchdown to give the Packers a 17-point cushion.

As if one defensive touchdown wasn’t enough, Aaron Rouse wanted in on the fun as well. With Indianapolis driving near the Packers goal line, the former Virginia Tech standout closed the door. Green Bay was leading 27-7 when Manning fired a pass to the goal line, but Rouse jumped the route and intercepted the pass and went 99 yards untouched for the knockout punch. Instead of a 27-14 game, it was now 34-7 and the game was over.

The Colts would tack on another touchdown, but this game was never a contest in the second half and the Packers come out with a dominating win. People thought Green Bay could win, but nobody thought it would blow out Indianapolis the way it did to head into the bye week with a record of 4-3.

However, after the bye week, Green Bay had one heartbreaking loss after another and lost seven of its next eight before beating the soon-to-be 0-16 Detroit Lions on the final week of the regular season.
