Malik Willis gets his revenge

The Green Bay Packers prevail in a dominate display of defense defeating the Tennessee Titans 30-14.

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, check out the game recap.

Packers Snap Counts: Week 3 Vs. The Titans

The Packers elevated QB Sean Clifford and CB Robert Rochell from the practice squad. The Packers previously signed RB Chris Brooks to the 53-man roster while RB Marshawn Lloyd is out on the injured reserve list. Brooks was waived injured by the Dolphins but reached an injury settlement for his concussion. The Packers initially signed him to their practice squad and then to their 53-man roster.

Due to injury, QB Jordan Love (MCL), CB Carrington Valentine (ankle), and Jordan Morgan (shoulder), were inactive. OL Travis Glover, Edge Brenton Cox, DE Colby Wooden, and S Kitan Olapado were healthy scratches. Sean Clifford was active but did not play.

Packers 30 Titans 14: Game Balls/Lame Calls

“In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened!” — Vin Scully announcing the end of Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.

That quote came to mind as the Packers wrapped up another victory without Jordan Love, this time 30-14 over the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. Scully’s call, remembered as one of the most iconic in baseball history, came when a hobbled Kirk Gibson of the Dodgers limped to the plate as a pinch hitter and homered in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Oakland A’s. If you’ve never seen it, look it up on YouTube. It will give you chills. Sunday’s win had less drama, but the improbability of it should not be undersold. A backup Titans quarterback left for dead on the Tennessee scrap heap is traded to the Packers less than two weeks before the season begins. Love goes down in the opener and Willis, having barely learned the playbook, turns in a stellar performance last week against the Colts and then runs it back against his old team boasting a better defense, playing at home and desperately in need of a win. It wasn’t only Willis, of course; another impressive game plan from Matt LaFleur and a defensive front that racked up eight sacks combined to leave the Titans as the only winless team in the NFL.

Take a look at this week’s Game Balls and Lame Calls.

The NFL’s New Kickoff Rules Still Need to Be Tweaked

Hopefully, as the weather gets colder, we’ll hopefully see more kickoffs that are caught in the landing zone and get put in play. Right now, the new rules have helped reduce the number of returns and that’s not a good thing.

The Packers have had a string of great return specialists like Al Carmichael, Travis Williams, Steve Odom, Desmond Howard and now Nixon. We don’t want to see the kick return go the way of the drop kick.

The league still has a chance to figure out how to make these rules work for them or to improve on them in some way. But losing kick returns altogether takes something away from the game. The Packers certainly didn’t pay Nixon all that money not to do what he does best on the field.
