Titans vs. Packers final score, results: Tannehill, Tennessee halt Green Bay’s momentum on ‘TNF’

Total times read this article : 2

The Packers looked like they started to find their identity in last weekend’s win over the Cowboys, but any momentum they might have gathered was lost on Thursday night.

The Titans outplayed Green Bay on both sides of the ball, playing their typical hard-nosed style of defense as the offense finally came to life. 

Ryan Tannehill delivered his best performance of the season, throwing for 333 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Most figured Tennessee’s offense would have to run through Derrick Henry on a frigid night at Lambeau Field, but Tannehill commanded the offense brilliantly while Henry was held in check on the ground.

Aaron Rodgers had the Green Bay offense moving fairly well early on, hitting Christian Watson for two touchdowns and getting Randall Cobb involved in the passing game, but he looked out of sorts down the stretch.

The Packers had numerous chances to make it a one-possession game in the fourth quarter and just couldn’t find a rhythm despite the need for urgency.

The time for urgency in Green Bay might’ve already passed. The Packers are 4-7 through 11 games and face a nearly impossible path to the playoffs if they can’t go undefeated the rest of the way.

The Titans, meanwhile, are sitting pretty at 7-3. With the win, Tennessee extends its comfortable lead atop the AFC South and stays on track for a third consecutive division title. If Tannehill can play anything like this in January, the Titans will have a formidable chance of making a deep playoff run.
