The Green Bay Packers opened up a 20-point second-half lead over the Tennessee Titans on the first career touchdown by running back Emanuel Wilson in the third quarter on Sunday.
On 2nd-and-15, Wilson caught a swing pass to the left of the formation, got a block in the open field from center Josh Myers and right guard Sean Rhyan and raced into the end zone to put the Packers up 27-7 midway through the third quarter.

Wilson’s first touchdown came on his 36th career NFL touch.
The play goes down as a passing attempt for Malik Willis, who is now 12 of 14 passing for 199 yards, one touchdown and zero turnovers. Willis also has 73 rushing yards and a score.
Wilson, the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs, has turned seven touches into 47 yards and a score. He went undrafted out of Fort Valley State in 2023 but has been with the Packers each of the last two seasons.
