Malik Willis beats former team as Packers roll Titans
Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis (2) runs the ball past Tennessee Titans linebacker Harold Landry III (58) during the second quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. Malik Willis threw for a touchdown and ran for another on Sunday as the Green Bay Packers never trailed in a 30-14 win over the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Tenn.
Playing against the team that traded him last month for a 7th-round draft choice, Willis completed 13 of 19 passes for 202 yards and added 73 yards on the ground in the best game of his three-year NFL career.
Green Bay (2-1) also got three field goals from kicker Braydon Narveson, who was in training camp with Tennessee. The Packers dominated in total yardage, outgaining the Titans 378-237.
Tennessee quarterback Will Levis completed 26 of 34 for 260 yards with two touchdowns. The second-year signal-caller absorbed eight sacks and tossed two interceptions as the Titans fell to 0-3.
Willis set the tone right away, hitting a pair of 30-yard passes on his team's first drive and cashing it in by running for a 5-yard touchdown less than three minutes into the game.
Tennessee got off to a promising start offensively, matching Green Bay as Levis found Nick Vannett for a 1-yard score at the 7:15 mark.
But after Narveson connected on a 21-yard field goal, Levis made the big mistake, tossing an interception that Jaire Alexander returned 35 yards to make it 17-7 with 58 seconds left in the first quarter.
Narveson upped the lead to 20-7 at halftime with a 26-yard field goal, and Willis hit Emanuel Wilson for a 30-yard touchdown with 8:33 left in the third quarter for a 27-7 cushion. A penalty on the Titans during a missed field goal extended the drive.
Levis found DeAndre Hopkins for an 11-yard strike at the five-minute mark of the fourth to draw Tennessee within 13 but it couldn't get closer. Narveson capped the scoring on a 47-yard field goal with 3:34 remaining in the game.
Tennessee rushed for only 33 yards on 11 carries.
