When putting together their original game plan for the Houston Texans in Week 7, the Green Bay Packers hadn’t planned on playing Eric Wilson at Mike linebacker. Those plans changed after Quay Walker exited the game early in the second quarter with a concussion.
Wilson ended up playing a season-high 57 snaps on defense and proved to be a key ingredient in the team’s come-from-behind win in the second half.
More often than not, the eighth-year linebacker was in the right place at the right time, finishing with six tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks, and a pass breakup.
