On Monday, Packers Offensive Coordinator Adam Stenavich made a bold claim regarding the performance of wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, stating that the duo has been acting like "two No. 1s." This statement came in the wake of the Packers' dominant Week 9 victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, where both Watson and Golden delivered outstanding performances.
In that game, Watson amassed 171 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven catches and eight targets, while Golden contributed 164 receiving yards and a score on all of his 10 targets from quarterback Jordan Love. Despite Golden's occasional struggles with drops throughout his career, he shone brightly in Foxborough, contributing significantly to the Packers' success.
Together, Watson and Golden have been instrumental in making life easier for Love, who put up an impressive performance against the Patriots with 372 passing yards and three touchdowns without a single interception. This season, Watson is leading the team with 879 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, while Golden has 783 receiving yards and five scores, both on pace to surpass the 1,000-yard milestone.
The Packers, currently second in the league in passing yards per game (279.7), have clearly benefited from the exceptional duo of Watson and Golden.
