Christian Watson Gets Honest About Game-Winning Touchdown

The Week 11 battle between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants was an emotional experience for Packers fans. They did come away from the game with a win, but how they won was the interesting part.

For most of the game, the Packers heavily relied on their rushing game, which was mostly effective, even when Josh Jacobs went down with an injury. The passing attack, however, was anemic for the most part, as nobody was able to consistently hold onto the ball besides Christian Watson, who talked about his game-winning touchdown in a press conference shared via Ryan Wood on X.

“Honestly, it was a play that we probably called like four times that game just to get the right look for it. We weren’t getting man [coverage] on in the whole game. Jordan just gave me a chance,” Watson said.

As Watson mentioned, he and Jordan Love were trying to connect on this play numerous times leading up to this moment, but they ultimately made it happen when the Packers needed it most. This was Watson’s second touchdown catch of the day, a clutch moment for this Packers offense.

This team has looked like a Super Bowl contender at times, and at others, they’ve looked like a fringe playoff team. It’s hard to see them as anything besides the latter after this performance, but it is encouraging to see Watson step up in a big spot.

With Tucker Kraft out, the Packers need someone to become their alpha pass-catcher. Watson has never assumed that role to this point, mainly due to his injuries, but if Sunday’s performance is indicative of the future, he could be Love’s No. 1 target moving forward.
