The Green Bay Packers put the hammer down on the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 and moved to 2-1 on the year. It was a fun day for Packers fans and also a fun day for running back Emanuel Wilson, who rushed for 50 yards and had another 35 yards through the air along with a receiving touchdown.

One moment that might not have seemed like so much fun for Wilson was when he tried to hurdle Titans defensive back Quandre Diggs and it didn't end in a cool highlight. Instead, Wilson and Diggs met mid-air with the two both landing on the ground together.

This obviously wasn't the end result that Wilson was going for, but the Packers' running back had a good attitude about the failed hurdle.

Wilson reposted the clip on X and said that he started laughing mid-air.

Emanuel Wilson has the right attitude about failed hurdle vs. Titans

Most guys might be embarrassed about a moment like this, and maybe Wilson was, but he sure doesn't seem to be acting like it. He clearly knew while in the air that he made a silly mistake trying to hurdle Diggs and that he was going to pay the price for it.

While that play might not have worked in Wilson's favor, he still had himself a great day at the office. He scored the first touchdown of his NFL career and has proven to be a more reliable weapon for the Packers offense.

Hey, most NFL players would probably take a failed hurdle against an established vet like Diggs if it meant that they got to score a touchdown and be a dependable weapon for their team. Let's all hope that the next hurdle Wilson attempts goes in his favor, though, and he can start laughing after sticking the landing and continuing to run.
