Sun Sep 15 13:44:48 UTC 2024: ## Colts Favored to Take Down Packers in Week 2 Showdown
**Green Bay, WI** – The Indianapolis Colts (0-1) will look to secure their first win of the season when they take on the Green Bay Packers (0-1) at Lambeau Field on Sunday.
The Colts are coming off a close loss to the Houston Texans in Week 1, while the Packers suffered a defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Brazil Game.
Adding to the Packers’ woes, starting quarterback Jordan Love is doubtful for the game due to a knee injury. Backup quarterback Malik Willis, a third-round pick in 2022, is expected to start in Love’s absence.
However, the Packers still boast a strong offensive core with second-year wide receiver Jayden Reed, who impressed in the season opener with 138 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The Colts, on the other hand, are hoping for a strong performance from their own offensive weapons. Quarterback Anthony Richardson, known for his dual-threat ability, showed promise in Week 1, throwing for 212 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Jonathan Taylor, a 2021 rushing leader, will also be looking to make a significant impact against a Packers defense that allowed Saquon Barkley to rush for 109 yards and two touchdowns in their last game.
