In a surprising turn of events, the Green Bay Packers will have a new starting quarterback taking the field for the first time in six years. With both Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers sidelined, Malik Willis is expected to lead the Packers against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday.

Willis, who was recently acquired by the Packers in a trade, will have the challenging task of spearheading the team's offense with Love currently recovering from a sprained MCL. Having previously played for the Tennessee Titans, Willis is no stranger to facing the Colts, as both teams were in the AFC North. However, he never had the opportunity to showcase his skills against them during his time with the Titans.

As the Packers gear up for their home opener at Lambeau Field, the focus shifts towards adapting Matt LaFleur's offensive strategy to suit their new quarterback. Willis will rely on the support of running backs Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson to establish a strong ground game and keep the Colts' defense on their toes.

The Packers remain hopeful that Willis will bring a fresh perspective and inject new energy into their offense. This season, the team is still searching for their first win, and they are counting on Willis to help turn their fortunes around. The Lambeau faithful will undoubtedly be eager to see how the young quarterback handles the pressure in his inaugural start for the Packers.

As the anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Malik Willis as he steps into the spotlight as the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. The outcome of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts will undoubtedly set the tone for the remainder of the season, and Packers fans will be eagerly cheering on Willis as he strives to lead the team to victory.
