The current connection between Jordan Love and Christian Watson hasn’t been working as effectively as hoped. But as the Green Bay Packers offense hopefully continues to progress in other areas, Watson could benefit from more quality opportunities to get the ball in his hands.
In six games this season, Watson has caught only 14 of his 33 targets, including just two receptions of 20-plus yards. Of Love’s 10 interceptions thrown, five have come when targeting Watson. The good news is he’s averaging almost 17 yards per catch, but he and Love haven’t been anywhere near efficient enough for opponents to feel the true effect of what that connection can do.
