Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis was making his second consecutive start of the season with Jordan Love sidelined with a knee injury. Willis would be starting against his former team, the Tenenssee Titans.
Christian Watson played a role for the Packers in a 30-14 win over the Titans. Watson caught two passes for 67 yards receiving and zero touchdowns. Willis rushed for 73 yards on six carries and a touchdown. He also completed 13-of-19 passes for 202 yards and one touchdown.
The former North Dakota State Bison wide receiver spoke to Wes Holskiewicz after the win. He had a lot of praise for the third-year quarterback from Liberty. Watson said:
“”I was talking to other wideouts earlier in the game. I don’t care if he doesn’t think it’s a revenge game, I’m going out there and playing for him. I want him to be able to go out there and win this thing.”
Along With Watson having a good game, Jayden Reed caught four passes for 50 yards receiving. Emanuel Wilson also had a 30-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter for Green Bay.
Jordan Love Could Return In Week 4 Against the Minnesota Vikings
Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs may be catching passes from Jordan Love in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings and not Malik Willis. No matter how this is looked at, Willis saved the Packers’ season. They are 2-1 and not 0-3 entering Week 4.
Minnesota is 3-0 entering Week 4 and it is one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers will have tons of storylines this week leading up to the game. If Malik Willis for some reason has to start again, Christian Watson and the rest of the team will rally around him to get the job done.
