Winners

Derrick Henry

Henry entered Week 11 as the NFL’s No. 2 leading rusher. Henry compiled 132 yards from scrimmage (87 rushing yards), one rushing touchdown and even had a touchdown pass.

The workhorse running back tossed a touchdown pass near the goal line, which was an excellent play call that had Green Bay’s entire defense fooled.

Henry was the best and most important player on the field.

Tennessee’s red zone offense

The Titans entered the night with the NFL’s top-ranked red zone offense. Tennessee was an impressive four of six in the red zone versus the Packers.

Run defense

Tennessee had the No. 2 run defense entering Thursday night, allowing opponents to 85.1 yards per game. The Titans held the Packers to just 56 yards on the ground.

Rookie WRs Treylon Burks and Christian Watson

Burks quietly had a nice first half. The rookie wideout had a season-high six catches and 60 yards in the first half alone.

In the fourth quarter, Burks caught a 51-yard pass on Packers top cornerback Jaire Alexander. Burks had a career-high seven catches and 111 receiving yards. He led the game in both categories.

Watson had a breakout game last week, producing 107 receiving yards and three touchdown catches. His performance earned him rookie of the week honors. The wide receiver followed up his career-best performance with four catches, 48 yards and two touchdowns.

Watson had a nice touchdown catch in the first quarter where he high pointed the football over Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton.

Watson caught another touchdown with under three minutes to go in the third quarter. Watson’s recorded five touchdowns in two weeks.

‘TNF in The Shop’

Thursday night was the premiere of "The Shop" and Amazon Prime teaming up to host an alternative feed for "Thursday Night Football" on Amazon Prime. LeBron James, Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera were the hosts and provided barbershop-style conversations during the game. Jamie Foxx, Jalen Ramsey and Rob Lowe were among the guest appearances.

Losers

Green Bay offense

Aside from a couple nice throws by Aaron Rodgers and a couple touchdown catches from Watson, Green Bay’s offense was pretty much contained by the Titans defense. Rodgers uncharacteristically missed a couple throws and had some miscommunication with receivers on a few plays.

The Packers only scored six points in the first half and were booed off the field. In the third quarter, the offense put together a 69-yard touchdown drive, but were forced to punt on their two ensuing drives and turn the ball over on downs on their third drive after the touchdown.

Green Bay was held scoreless in the fourth quarter.

The Packers managed 271 total yards in the loss. Tennessee produced 408 total yards in the win. 

Packers' NFC North hopes

The loss dropped the Packers to 4-7 this season. They are currently six games behind the Minnesota Vikings in the loss column with six regular-season games remaining. Green Bay can officially kiss its division title hopes good-bye.

Packers fans

The weather was below freezing for most of the game. The temperature was 25 degrees in the third quarter and dropped to the low 20s in the fourth quarter. The poor Green Bay fans witnessed their team lose in frigid temperatures.
