Christian Watson, Matthew Golden are delivering for the Packers
Although Green Bay's running game should get a boost on Sunday with the return of Josh Jacobs, the passing game is getting it done.
The Green Bay Packers running game is set to benefit from the return of Josh Jacobs, but it's the passing game that has been truly impressive so far this season. Receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden have been leading the charge, each surpassing the 500-yard mark through six games. Watson has accumulated 538 yards, while Golden has added 501.
Quarterback Jordan Love is the driving force behind this offensive resurgence. He is the only player on the team, alongside Bills quarterback Josh Allen, to have scored two or more total touchdowns in every game this season. If Love can replicate this performance against the Detroit Lions, he will join an elite group of Packers quarterbacks - Brett Favre, who achieved this feat in 1995, and Aaron Rodgers, who did it in 2011 - as the only others to do so in the first seven games of a season.
The Packers, who started the season 1-2, are now on a roll and aiming for their fourth straight win. They have not lost since their challenging Lambeau Field opener against the Falcons on a Thursday night.
