The Colts (7-3) benefited from
Valdes-Scantling's first career fumble in 42 games and kicked a
game-winning field goal for a 34-31 victory over the Packers
(7-3).
"Death threats over a football game?" the 26-year-old
Valdes-Scantling wrote on Twitter. "Jesus you people need help.
It's actually sick. I'm good. My team got my back."
Fellow Packers wide receiver Davante Adams came to his defense
over social media.
"Been there my dawg," Adams wrote on Twitter. "You know we got
you! We all you need"
Valdes-Scantling reeled in a 47-yard reception late in the
fourth quarter to set up Green Bay's game-tying field goal. He
finished with three catches for 55 yards, and he also drew a
pass interference penalty late in the second quarter to set up a
Packers' touchdown.
"I know he's really hurting right now," Green Bay coach Matt
LaFleur said Sunday. "He made so many plays for us and not only
in the pass game but in the run game, stuff that you guys
probably don't even notice that we're not getting the yardage
that we get if he's not blocking his (expletive) off.
"So I can live with MVS. I've got more confidence in him now
than probably ever. I think he continues to get better each and
every day. Every time we go out there, he's providing big
plays."
