The Packers did not play very well in this football game but it appeared that they weren’t trying to win this game as hard as the Titans who played a lot of the regulars in this game.  Aaron Rodgers only threw one pass in this game but it was a darn good one as Greg Jennings caught it and scored on a 68-yard pass play.  Brian Brohm had another game to forget as he completed 7 of 12 passes for 52 yards but he fumbled 3 times, losing one of them.  Matt Flynn played much better than Brohm once again as he completed 8 of 13 passes for 77 yards with 2 TD passes.  He also carried the football 2 times for 27 yards (13.5 ypc).  Punter John Ryan was the leading rusher on the Packers in this game with 34 yards on 1 carry.  Kregg Lumpkin was very busy in this game with 27 yards rushing on 10 carries (2.7 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 33 yards (8.3 avg).  Noah Herron pitched in with 25 yards rushing on 4 carries (6.3 ypc) in this game.  The Packers finished up with 116 yards rushing on 21 carries (5.5 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 26 passes for 150 yards.  The Packers only had possession of the football for 23:15 in this game and it’s darn hard to win that way.

Linebackers Tracy White and Abdul Hodge led the way for the Packers’ defense in this game with 9 tackles apiece.  Safety Tyrone Culver also had a solid game with 6 tackles and a interception that he returned 30 yards.  The Titans finished up with 206 yards rushing on 40 carries (5.2 ypc) and they also completed 19 of 38 passes for 197 yards.  The Packers finished up the preseason 1-3 but they did get some valuable reps for the young QBs which was important.
