This may not have been a revenge game for QB Malik Willis, but he played like he had a chip on his shoulder throwing 13/19 for 202 yards and a touchdown adding a team lead-rushing 73 yards on six attempts and a touchdown. DC Jeff Hafley prepared his best game so far as the Packers’ defense caused four turnovers and eight sacks, the most since January 2005. Another impressive game plan by HC Matt Lafleur has the Packers 2-1 and on a two-game winning streak with their leader QB Jordan Love sidelined for the second consecutive game. In case you missed it, here is the recap: 

First Quarter: Packers' preparation displays a confident Willis.

Packers received the ball and on the very first play, Willis in shotgun formation fakes the hand-off to RB Josh Jacobs finding an open WR Jayden Reed for a 30-yard gain After a Jacobs 4-yard gain, on third-and-6, Willis finds Watson for the second 30-yard gain of the drive on a jump-ball grab setting up first-and-goal. On second-and-goal, Willis fakes the hand-off to Jacobs and on a nice juke-move QB sneak scored a 5-yard touchdown. K Brayden Narveson made the extra point giving Packers a 7-0 lead with 12:25 left in the first quarter.

QB Will Levis, looking for a bounce back game, and the Titans started at their own 30. First play Levis had plenty of time in the pocket and found TE Josh Whyle for 23-yard gain. On Second-and-2, RB Tony Pollard picked up the first down gain. Levis continued to look poised in the pocket completing a long third-and-9 to new Titans WR Tyler Boyd for a 20-yard gain on the GB 15. Packers had a chance for a pick off of McKinney’s hands on a tipped ball which step up third-and-8 sack by Gary.

Levis found a wide-open TE Nick Vannett in the back of the end zone for the Touchdown. K Nick Folk made the extra point as the Titans tied the game 7-7 with 7:15 left in the first quarter.

On third-and-2, Willis rolled out keeping the ball for himself gaining 30 yards for the first down. On third-and-7, RB Emmanuel Wilson had a key block opening up a lane for Willis to run 8 yards for the first down. Lafleur smartly continued calling the Willis run game with a 29-yard game setting up first-and-goal. After a couple Jacobs runs that were stuffed at the line, Packers found themselves at third-and-goal with an incomplete pass to Reed. Narveson nailed the 21-yard field goal giving the Packers a 10-7 lead with 1:05 left in the first quarter. At this point, Willis had four passing attempts for 72 yards and four rushing attempts for 62 yards. After a rare kickoff return was guarded well by the Packers special teams, Levis attempted a throw on first-and-10 to WR DeAndre Hopkins which was picked off by CB Jaire Alexander for a pick-6 (Wow, what a pick!). Narveson made the extra point giving the Packers a 17-7 lead. Titans had a chance for one more play before the quarter ended, but another neutral infraction this time by DT Kenny Clark gave the Titans the first down keeping the clock running until the end of the first quarter.

Second Quarter: Packers 17 Colts 7

Wilson picked up the ground game gaining back-to-back big gains, but after an untimely sack for a 9-yard loss, the Packers found themselves at third-and-15. A RB screen to Wilson was not enough as P Daniel Whelan made his first appearance punting a touchback. With 8:19 remaining in the second quarter, Titans started off with a run to Tyjae Spears as the Packers defensive line stopped him for a 1-yard gain. After a short completion to Hopkins, the Packers brought pressure on third down as Lukas Van Ness sacked Levis for a 3-yard loss forcing the Titans to punt. The Packers started their forth drive at the GB 25 and it took until 5:57 left in the second quarter for the Packers’ to commit their first offensive holding penalty.

Willis in shotgun handed the ball to Reed for a 15-yard gain continuing to move the chains with the run game. Another positive Jacobs run was negated by an illegal shift on WR Bo Melton setting up first-and-10 at the TEN 47 running the clock to the two-minute warning. Penalties continued to plague the Packers' drive as a hands-to-the-face foul is committed by LT Rasheed Walker setting up second-and-23.

On a four-man rush, DL Devonte Wyatt got the sack for a 5-yard loss. Levis throws a completion for a gain of 12 on third-and-14 as Titans HC Brian Callahan uses his first first timeout deciding to go for it on fourth-and-2 at their own 37. On a roll out by Willis, LBs Quay Walker and McDuffie made a perfect read containing Willis and getting the sack forcing a turnover on downs. Packers hand the ball to Jacobs on the first play for a 5-yard gain (hey, no penalty!) Unfortunately, the next play is a hand-off to Jacobs that gets called for a holding erasing a first down. After short completions to Reed on second and third down, Narveson missed a 48-yard field goal attempt. However, Titans DT Jeffery Simmons bailed out the Packers with a rare defensive holding call on a field goal giving the Packers the first down. On second-and-15, Willis finds Wilson on a RB screen with fantastic blocking by the O-line running into the end zone almost untouched for  for 30-yard touchdown.

On third-and-1 at the GB 12, Levis pulled off a QB sneak for a first down gain. Seemed like GB defense went into autopilot mode as the next play, Levis found Hopkins for an 11-yard touchdown pass (bad tackling). Folk made the extra point as the score was Packers 27 Titans 14 with 4:55 left in the third quarter. GB started the next drive at the TEN 30 with Jacobs getting the ball for positive short-yard gains. On third-and-3, the Titans defense was able to swarm on Jacobs forcing the Packers’ first three-and-out of the game. A booming punt by Whelan was erased by another silly Packers' penalty, and instead of TEN starting at their own 10 the next punt is returned to the 30. Titans continued to put their trust in Levis as the first play was a 19-yard completion to Hopkins. Since the pick-6, Levis was 11/12 for 118 yards passing. On a second-and-10, Packers LB Kingsley Enagbare made an ankle-breaking move for a strip-sack recovered by the monster Van Ness forcing another Levis turnover (third of the day). Packers run the ball to Wilson for a 7-yard gain concluding the third quarter.

4th Quarter- Packers 27 Titans 14
