Stars, studs and duds from Packers’ Week 3 win over Titans

The Green Bay Packers used another dominant performance along the line of scrimmage and a handful of big plays from a re-tooled offense to win a second consecutive game with Malik Willis under center. Sunday’s 30-14 road victory over the Tennessee Titans improved the Packers to 2-1 through three weeks.

Considering the Packers tallied eight sacks and three takeaways, it’s hardly surprising that a number of standout individual performances came from the defensive side of the football.

Here are the stars, studs and duds from the Packers’ Week 3 win over the Titans:

Stars

CB Jaire Alexander: His pick-six turned the game on its head late in the first quarter. With eyes on the quarterback, Alexander reacted in a flash, made the catch with arms extended and high-stepped into the end zone for six.

With the Packers up 13 and the Titans driving, Enagbare cleanly beat the right tackle with an inside move and stripped Levis, creating a game-turning takeaway. On one fourth quarter drive, Enagbare stuffed Tony Pollard after a short gain and then combined with Edgerrin Cooper for a drive-ending sack on third down. He played only 22 snaps but almost single-handedly killed two Titans drives in the second half.

Studs

RB Emanuel Wilson: His 85 total yards were a career-high, and he scored his first NFL touchdown on a well-devised and executed screen pass. He created two explosive plays, made defenders miss between the tackles and was excellent in pass protection. On one snap in the first half, Wilson moved to his right across the formation and blocked the blitzing linebacker, allowing Willis to escape the pocket and scramble for a…
