Colts only win at Lambeau when animal gets loose

Well, this is strange.

On Sunday, the Colts might have saved their season with a big road win over the Packers -- the team's first win at Lambeau Field in almost three decades. That's not the strange part. What's weird is the thread that ties the conquests together.
