Malik Willis' revenge game and other standout performances from the Packers' road win over the Titans
The Green Bay Packers pick up their second straight win of the season, with a 30-14 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Here are some players who made an impact in the game:
Malik Willis
Ahead of his return to Nashville, Willis said he had no ill will toward the Titans after being traded in the offseason. But if he wanted revenge, he certainly got it.
In his second start with the Packers, he completed 13 of 19 passes for a career-high 202 yards and a touchdown, with six carries for 73 yards and a rushing score.
Willis’ progression as a pocket passer has been impressive. He had four passes that went for 30 yards or more.
Willis is 2-0 as a starter in Green Bay, putting the team in a good place with Jordan Love likely nearing a return.
Jaire Alexander
The Packers had seven total interceptions in 2023. They are at seven through three games in 2024.
Alexander got his 12th career regular-season interception and the first pick-six of his career. Late in the first quarter, he sniffed out a pass Will Levis intended for DeAndre Hopkins and took it 35 yards for a score to make it a 17-7 Packers lead.
He added four tackles.
This was the first touchdown for Jeff Hafley’s defense.
Emanuel Wilson
The Packers had a deep running back group. After losing AJ Dillon for the season to injury and with MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve, Wilson stepped up on the depth chart. He’s delivered.
In the win over the Titans, he had 12 carries for 50 rushing yards and scored his first career touchdown, on a 30-yard reception off a screen pass from Willis.
The defensive line
The entire defensive front deserves props. This group felt unstoppable in this game.
Eight sacks on the game. Preston Smith and Devonte Wyatt led the way with two each. The Titans have struggled all season to protect Levis, and this game proved no different.
Christian Watson
In last week's win over the Colts, it was all about the run game.
No surprise the Titans wanted to take that away this week, giving the Packers the opportunity to air it out more.
Watson had only two receptions for 67 yards, but they were big plays. In the first quarter, he caught a pass for 30 yards, setting up a touchdown two plays later. In the second quarter, he caught a 37-yard pass, leading to a field goal heading into halftime.
