Wayne and Luck delivered in a way Pagano wanted, with clutch plays.
Luck finished 31 of 55 for a career-high 362 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. Wayne caught 13 passes for a career-high 212 yards and the game-winning score.
Things sure weren't easy for Indy, which had to dig itself out from a 21-3 halftime deficit. Luck threw an 8-yard TD pass to Dwayne Allen, then set up Adam Vinatieri for a 50-yard field goal to make it 21-13 midway through the third quarter.
The Colts were just getting started. Luck scored on a 3-yard run with 18 seconds left to get the Colts within 21-19. A few minutes later, the Colts took their first lead on Vinatieri's 28-yard field goal.
That's when Aaron Rodgers jump-started the Green Bay offense, throwing an 8-yard TD pass to James Jones to give Green Bay (2-3) a 27-22 lead with 4 minutes, 30 seconds left.
But Luck marched Indianapolis 80 yards in 13 plays, converting three third-down chances before hooking up with Wayne for the decisive score.
