Christian Watson just put up his fourth touchdown reception of the season, helping Green Bay grab an early 7-0 lead. It’s only Week 3, and this guy is already stacking scores, showing a serious knack for the end zone.
Love Finds Watson for a Quick Score
The latest Watson spectacular came on a Thursday night in the first quarter, with 5:13 left on the clock. Jordan Love zipped a 4-yard pass to him, capping off an impressive 87-yard drive that took nine plays. Love was on fire during that series, completing 5-of-6 passes for 76 yards and the touchdown. Shoutout to Matthew Golden, too, who pulled down a massive 45-yard pass to get them to the Atlanta 43 on a crucial third-and-11 play. That was a huge momentum swing for Green Bay, putting them up by a score after a strong, sustained offensive push.
Early Game Jitters, Then Spark
That touchdown drive wasn’t how Green Bay started, though. On their very first possession, they totally whiffed after safety Xavier McKinney snatched an interception from Michael Penix. You get a gift like that, you gotta make it count, right? But Love went just 1-of-3 for a measly 6 yards, leading to a quick three-and-out. It was a frustrating start, but then they locked in. Watson’s score was the absolute spark they needed to shake off those early game struggles and truly capitalize on their second chance.
This early pace for Christian Watson is something else, especially when you consider his career high for touchdowns in a single season is seven, which he hit back in 2022 as a rookie. If he keeps this up, he is going to blow past that mark in no time. It’s a huge look for him and that Green Bay offense this early in the year.
