The contest started slowly, with both defenses exchanging blows. But the Titans drew first blood in the second quarter when quarterback Ryan Tannehill connected with wide receiver AJ Brown for a 15-yard touchdown. The Packers answered back before halftime when Aaron Rodgers found Allen Lazard for a 6-yard score. The second half turned into a shootout. Tannehill threw for two more touchdowns, while Rodgers found the end zone once more. With just over two minutes remaining, the Packers had a chance to take the lead, but kicker Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal. In overtime, the Titans offense marched down the field and set up kicker Randy Bullock for the game-winning field goal. Bullock calmly drilled a 48-yarder to give the Titans the improbable victory. Tannehill finished the game with 368 passing yards and three touchdowns. Brown led the receiving corps with 10 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown. For the Packers, Rodgers threw for 339 yards and three touchdowns, but his interceptions ultimately proved costly. Davante Adams had 10 receptions for 132 yards. The victory was a major upset for the Titans, who were 10.5-point underdogs going into the game. It also marked the first time a team has defeated the Packers in overtime since 1991. The Packers’ loss dropped them to 3-2 on the season, while the Titans improved to 2-2. Both teams will look to bounce back next week as the Packers host the Washington Commanders and the Titans travel to face the Indianapolis Colts.
