Watsonâs speed was a big difference for Love and the Packersâ offense as the focal point of Green Bayâs passing game in a win over Chicago.
After catching four passes for 89 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Pro Football Focus lists Watson as the Packersâ highest-graded player from Sundayâs game.
âIt means a lot to me for sure. Honestly, I tried not to think about it that much, but as the game was kind of getting going, it was definitely creeping in my mind a little bit,â Watson said of last seasonâs injury, via Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. âIâm just so thankful and blessed to be able to do what I do, and Iâm glad today panned out how it did.â
Sunday was a bit of a glimpse of not only what Green Bayâs offense can look like when itâs clicking on all cylinders, but when all cylinders are in action, because first-round rookie Matthew Golden has yet to make a consistent impact. Once he does, alongside Watson, this vertical passing attack could be lethal for Green Bay.
