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.
