In Music City, the Packers’ defense stole the show, snagging their sixth interception of the season and first pick-six in a dominating performance against the Titans. Cornerback Jaire Alexander made a spectacular play, jumping an out-route intended for DeAndre Hopkins and picking off Will Levis, returning it 35 yards for a touchdown. This gave the Packers a 17-7 lead with just over a minute left in the first quarter.
With quarterback Jordan Love sidelined due to a sprained MCL in his left knee, Malik Willis stepped in for his second consecutive start. He led two scoring drives, giving the Packers a 10-7 advantage. Alexander’s interception came on the Titans’ first play after the Packers kicked a field goal to break the tie.
This marked Alexander’s first career pick-six and his 12th career interception. Levis became the first quarterback this season to throw multiple pick-sixes, having previously thrown one in the season opener against the Chicago Bears.
The Packers continued to pull away, taking a 27-7 lead with 8:25 remaining in the third quarter. Malik Willis connected with Emanuel Wilson on a 30-yard screen pass for a touchdown, capitalizing on a holding penalty called on the Titans during a missed 48-yard field goal attempt by Brayden Narveson.
