Much has been made this season about the Packers’ young receivers working to get on the same page as two-time reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers. If Monday night’s game is evidence, it seems like there are still some growing pains in Green Bay.
Though the Packers comfortably beat the Rams at Lambeau Field on Monday, Rodgers and co. had a chance to add to their 24–12 lead late in the fourth quarter. On third-and-2 from the L.A. four-yard line, Rodgers fired a pass out wide to Christian Watson, but the rookie appeared unaware that the ball was coming in his direction.
The pass fell harmlessly to the ground and Rodgers appeared frustrated at the botched play. The Packers quarterback seemingly had a right to be disappointed in the result as a video replay on the ESPN broadcast showed Rodgers making a hand signal in Watson’s direction before the snap.
