Milwaukee Bucks react to Green Bay Packers DT’s Dame Time celebration

Damian Lillard’s iconic Dame Time celebrations have expanded beyond basketball into other sports around the world. Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks guard noticed the same gesture used by Green Bay Packers defensive back Devonte Wyatt during their Week 3 win against the Tennessee Titans.

Green Bay Packers secured convincing 30-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans in week three, improving their record to 2-1. Malik Willis led the offense, scoring two touchdowns and showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. The Packers started forceful, scoring on their first two drives, and kept the momentum going throughout the game.

Defensively, the Packers were outstanding, recording eight sacks and three tackles for loss, including a pick-six by Jaire Alexander. The pass rush was particularly effective, with many players contributing, allowing the defense to dominate throughout the contest. The Titans struggled to establish their running game, managing just 33 rushing yards, forcing them into a one-dimensional offense.

On offense, Willis completed nearly 70% of his passes and ran for 73 yards, showing composure as a backup quarterback. Emanuel Wilson also shined, rushing for 85 yards and his first NFL touchdown, showing the depth and versatility of the Packers’ offensive lineup.

Looking ahead, the Packers will face a key matchup with the Minnesota Vikings next week. This game will be an crucial test for the team as they continue to build confidence and momentum, especially with the potential return of point guard Jordan Love. With a forceful performance against the Titans, the Packers are poised to make an impact in the NFC North race.
