Christian Watson and Matthew Golden make Packers history vs. Bears
Christian Watson and Matthew Golden set a new franchise record in the win against Chicago and have the makings of a special wide receiver duo.
Christian Watson and Matthew Golden have etched their names into Green Bay Packers history with a 31-7 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. While quarterback Jordan Love was recognized for the game ball, Watson and Golden's stellar performance cannot be overlooked. Together, they have amassed an impressive 871 combined receiving yards through the first five games of the season, surpassing the previous record of 868 yards set by Javon Walker and Donald Driver in 2004.
Watson, in particular, has made a significant impact, tallying over 140 receiving yards and two touchdowns in just one game, marking his second consecutive performance of this caliber. Golden, while receiving fewer opportunities, has set new career highs in several categories, including a high of 397 receiving yards in a single game.
The duo's impressive stats have led to a long-term contract extension for Watson, who has been in peak form since returning from a torn ACL injury last season. With Watson and Golden dominating the field, Packers quarterback Jordan Love now has two elite receivers at his disposal, setting the stage for an elite offensive performance throughout the 2026 season.
