Damian Lillard’s iconic Dame Time celebration has transcended basketball to other sports in the world. Just recently, the Milwaukee Bucks guard saw that same gesture used by Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt in their Week 3 win against the Tennessee Titans.

The Green Bay Packers secured a convincing 30-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, improving their record to 2-1. Malik Willis led the charge, delivering two touchdowns and showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. The Packers started strong, scoring on their first two drives, and maintained momentum throughout the game.

Defensively, the Packers excelled, recording eight sacks and forcing three turnovers, including a pick-six from Jaire Alexander. The pass rush was particularly effective, with contributions from multiple players, allowing the defense to dominate throughout the contest. The Titans struggled to establish their run game, managing only 33 rushing yards, which forced them into a one-dimensional attack.

Offensively, Willis completed nearly 70% of his passes and rushed for 73 yards, demonstrating poise as a backup quarterback. Emanuel Wilson also shined, achieving 85 yards and his first NFL touchdown, showcasing the depth and versatility of the Packers’ offensive lineup.

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

During the match, Wyatt used Lillard’s signature celebration at some point in the match. This can be seen in a post shared by The Buck House on its official Instagram account.

Lillard’s iconic celebration has transcended basketball, inspiring soccer stars like Dani Olmo of FC Barcelona and Amadou Onana of Aston Villa to adopt the gesture after their own goals. Lillard’s signature move, which involves pointing to his wrist, highlights his influence across sports.
