RecapChristian Watson caught 7-of-8 targets for 171 yards and one touchdown in the Packers’ Week 9 win over the Patriots.
Watson and fellow receiver Matthew Golden combined to catch 14 passes for 335 yards and two touchdowns, as both receivers attacked downfield at will against an overmatched Patriots secondary. Watson saw four of his seven receptions go for 20-plus yards, and found the end zone on a 39-yard touchdown in the third quarter, one play after the Packers’ defense forced a turnover. Watson has now gone for 100-plus yards in back-to-back weeks and has four games of 100-plus-yard performances on his resumé this season. He draws a tough Week 10 matchup against the Vikings and will be in the mix as a high-end WR2.
