The Tennessee Titans fell to the Green Bay Packers at home on Sunday, losing their third consecutive game and bringing their 2024 record to 0-3.
Malik Willis started for the Packers in place of an injured Jordan Love, and he had his way with the Titans’ defense in a way we haven’t seen yet this season. Coupled with Will Levis’ three turnovers, the Titans simply couldn’t overcome the challenges they faced.
Here’s a quick look at the studs and duds (and studly duds) from Sunday’s loss:

DeAndre Hopkins reminded us why the Titans wanted him when he left Arizona. He roped in six catches on seven targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. Compared to the previous two weeks combined two catches on three targets for 17 yards, this is a vast improvement. Some of that gets credited to Will Levis and Brian Callahan, but it’s good to see Hopkins getting involved again.

Titans quarterback Will Levis continues to disappoint. He threw two interceptions, fumbled the ball, and took eight sacks for 56 yards lost. His two touchdowns don’t come near outweighing all of that. Brian Callahan and his staff have to find a way to clean up Levis’ mistakes.

Linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. was all over the place against the Packers, wreaking havoc and causing chaos. He recorded two of the Titans’ three sacks, had one tackle for a loss, eight total tackles (five solo), and two quarterback hits.

It was Calvin Ridley’s turn to be invisible today as he recorded only one catch for nine yards. Whether this was a coverage thing, a route-running problem, communication or something else, Will Levis has to figure out how to use all three of his receivers more effectively.

Running back Tyjae Spears is still sorting out his place on the team behind Tony Pollard, and this week he exercised his receiving skills to show us another side of his abilities. He only rushed twice for seven yards, but he caught four passes for 54 yards thanks to some fancy footwork after the catch.

The Packers figured out a way to shut down running back Tony Pollard. He had only six carries for 14 yards and three receptions for 15 yards. Quite a far cry from what he produced over the first two games, averaging 72 yards per game on the ground.

Early in the game, tight end Nick Vannett got involved and made an impact when he scored a touchdown in the first quarter to tie the game at seven. Unfortunately, he basically disappeared after that, ending the game with two catches for nine yards and a touchdown.
