Defense's strong 2nd half leads Colts past Packers in OT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The Indianapolis defense may have turned Aaron Rodgers into a true believer Sunday.

Others around the league should take note, too.

After allowing three touchdown passes and 28 first-half points, the Colts held one of the NFL's highest-scoring teams to three second-half points, forced a key fumble less than a minute into overtime and set up Rodrigo Blankship's decisive 39-yard field goal for a 34-31 over the Green Bay Packers.

''We actually talked in the first quarter and he made it a point to say he didn't mean it as any disrespect to me,'' Pro Bowl linebacker Darius Leonard said, referring to a comment Rodgers made during the week.
