Ryan Tannehill threw two touchdowns, while running back Derrick Henry also threw a touchdown pass for a rushing score, as the visiting Tennessee Titans beat Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 27-17 at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

Tennessee (7-3) won for the seventh time in eight games, struggling with a stuttering defense and an offensive attack that thrived in the air, Tannehill finished 22-27 for 333 yards.

Tannehill’s second touchdown came on the first play of the fourth quarter, stretching Tennessee’s lead to 10, as the Titans’ defense collapsed, forcing two punts and two turnovers on the Packers’ last four possessions, making it clear. Green Bay (4-7) lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 39 attempts for 227 yards and two scores to Christian Watson, fresh off his three-TD in Sunday’s overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys. That meant Watson became the first Green Bay rookie to score multiple TDs in consecutive games since Max McGee in 1954.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been sacked by the Tennessee Titans for tackling defensive end Jeffery Simmons in their loss on Thursday night.

Tennessee opened the scoring with its first touchdown of the game, the Titans going on an eight-play, 83-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown pass from Tannehill to Dontrell Hilliard.

Green Bay responded late in the quarter, with Rodgers’ first hit to Watson coming on third-and-nine from Tennessee’s 14-yard line — though the ensuing punt attempt was blocked, ensuring the Titans still had a narrow advantage. .

The Titans also missed an extra kick after Henry’s three-yard touchdown to tight end Austin Hooper, which put Tennessee ahead 20-9 with just over five minutes left in the third quarter.

Green Bay responded with an eight-yard TD pass from Rodgers to Watson, and a two-point conversion, to cut the deficit to just three points at 20-17.

But, Tennessee looked down the field for what it got, going on a five-play, 63-yard drive with Tannehill’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Hooper.

Green Bay’s defense, which allowed an average of 140.6 yards on the ground entering the night, held Henry to 87 yards on 28 carries. Tennessee, meanwhile, limited the Packers to 56 rushing yards on 19 carries.
