Green Bay’s 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on October 11 was built on big plays through the air, and two clips from the game show both of the Packers’ young receivers at work.
Matthew Golden’s head fake
Matthew Golden needed one quick head fake to turn his defender around and create space on the route. It is a small move with a big result, and it fits the afternoon he had: six catches for 123 yards, including a 50-yard gain, plus the two-point conversion that set the final score.
Christian Watson, mic’d up
Christian Watson wore the microphone for the rivalry game, and the Packers released a cut of about four and a half minutes. Watson caught both of Jordan Love’s touchdown passes, covering 42 and 53 yards, and finished with six catches for 143 yards.
Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards, and the defense forced five turnovers, leaving the NFC North rivals level at 3-2. Green Bay hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Our full game story is in the Packers–Bears Week 5 recap.
