Given only three weeks to learn the Green Bay Packers’ playbook, and just 14 pass attempts in Week 2’s duel, Malik Willis conducted a masterclass in how to extract the absolute best result from a unique opportunity. 14 yards away from his NFL career’s first-ever passing touchdown, Willis — after his receiver confirmed the Indianapolis Colts’ zone coverage through pre-snap motion — crossed the statistical milestone from his list through a perfectly-thrown out route. Captaining an afternoon that saw Green Bay run wild over Indianapolis with 53 rushing attempts on 67 plays, Willis was efficient in the 16-10 win on Sept. 15, 2024, going 12-of-14 for 122 yards and a touchdown, alongside six carries for 41 yards.
