Three touchdown passes from quarterback Aaron Rodgers helped the Green Bay Packers create a 28-14 lead over the Indianapolis Colts after two quarters of play Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Rodgers tossed touchdown passes to tight end Robert Tonyan, receiver Davante Adams and running back Jamaal Williams during the first 30 minutes. The two-time MVP quarterback now has 29 touchdown passes in 2020.
The Packers defense delivered a pair of turnovers, leading to 14 points. They also prevented the Colts from scoring after both of the Packers’ turnovers. The 14-point difference on points after turnovers is currently equal to the Packers’ lead at the half.
Rodgers has completed 13 of 16 passes for 160 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, good for a passer rating of 121.9.
Aaron Jones scored a 2-yard touchdown and leads the Packers with 31 rushing yards.
Davante Adams has four catches for a team-high 63 yards and a score, his 10th touchdown of the season.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling drew a 51-yard pass interference penalty with 21 seconds left in the first half.
On defense, Raven Greene forced a fumble recovered by Darnell Savage and Billy Winn tipped a pass to Christian Kirksey for an interception.
The Packers scored 28 points in the first half against the NFL’s fourth-ranked scoring defense. The offense converted three of four third downs and scored three touchdowns on three trips inside the red zone.
Two drives ended in turnovers: Rodgers and Corey Linsley botched a snap on the first series, and Rodgers was intercepted by Rock Ya-Sin in the first quarter.
