"One thing was painfully evident as the Indianapolis Colts' front-line players went through what likely was a final preseason tuneup Thursday night at famed Lambeau Field.
The regular season might be looming, but there's work to be done.
"Some things we can work on for sure,'' quarterback Peyton Manning said after the Green Bay Packers hung a historic 59-24 loss on the Colts. "We've got a couple of weeks to clean some things up."
Compounding matters are mounting injuries.
During the game, middle linebacker Gary Brackett (right hand), running back Joseph Addai (concussion), offensive tackle Tony Ugoh (toe), defensive tackle Antonio Johnson (groin) and cornerback Jacob Lacey (concussion) departed. The severity of injuries wasn't immediately known.
On the field, not much worked as the Colts were inefficient in virtually every phase in front of a sellout crowd of 68,987 and a national ESPN audience."
