Overview
- Starting for Jordan Love, who remained in concussion protocol, Willis went 18-of-21 for 288 yards with one passing touchdown and added 60 rushing yards and two scores in a 41-24 loss to the Ravens.
- Researchers noted rare milestones, including becoming the first QB since Michael Vick in 2002 to complete every first‑half pass while surpassing 100 yards with both a passing and rushing TD, and a unique blend of efficiency and rushing production over the full game.
- Willis exited in the fourth quarter after a shoulder tweak and later said he regretted not getting it checked at halftime, describing the pain as building before the throw that sent him to the locker room.
- Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Willis but reiterated Love is the franchise quarterback, leaving Week 18 plans dependent on Love clearing protocol and Willis’s health with Green Bay already locked into the NFC’s No. 7 seed.
- Postgame, Willis said “what you put on tape is your pitch” as he approaches 2026 free agency, referenced being “thrown into the fire” in Tennessee, and earned elite PFF marks and widespread praise for the performance.
