Green Bay Packers‘ wide receiver Christian Watson continued his superb run in NFL 2022 against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. Playing at the cold Lambeau Field in Week 11, he caught one pass for 14 yards which was in the endzone for the touchdown.
Watch:
Green Bay were at the 20 yards line at the Tennessee end and it was 3rd down for the team. QB Aaron Rodgers took all the time remaining in the first quarter which was just seven seconds to throw the ball over a jumping Watson who was defended by Titans’ cornerback Kristian Fulton.
In 11 plays, the drive covered 78 yards. Rodgers completed six passes, including the touchdown and a 24-yard pass to Randall Cobb, who is making his return from injured reserve.
This was the wide receiver’s fourth touchdown in his last five quarters of play. The Week 10 NFL Rookie of the Week caught three touchdown passes from Rodgers in last week’s come-from-behind victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
This year’s No. 34 overall pick hauled in four catches for 107 yards. Watson is one of only three Packers rookies with three receiving touchdowns. It’s the second time the Cowboys have given up three or more touchdowns to a rookie receiver, the first being Randy Moss’ famous Thanksgiving Day game in Week 13 of 1998, when he caught three passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns.
He is the second player behind wide receiver Romeo Doubs who also won the same accolade for his performance in Week 3.
As of November 15, Watson has the eleventh-best odds to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year trophy. He is +6000 according to the betting website, sportsbettingdime.com and has the fifth highest odds amongst the wide receivers.
The Titans lead 14-6 at the end of the first half.
