Packers WR Christian Watson joins exclusive group of touchdown-scoring rookies

Green Bay Packers rookie Christian Watson is scoring touchdowns at a rate that has only been matched by the likes Randy Moss and Odell Beckham Jr.

Watson caught his seventh touchdown pass in the last four games on Sunday in Chicago. Per the NFL, Watson joined Moss and Beckham Jr. as the only rookies in the Super Bowl era to catch at least seven touchdowns in a four-game stretch.

Watson caught three touchdown passes against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10, two touchdown passes against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11, one touchdown pass against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 and now one (so far) against the Bears in Week 13.

The score was from 14 yards out on 4th-and-4 late in the second quarter.

The record for a rookie is eight touchdown catches in four games.

Moss caught eight touchdown passes during a four-game stretch in 1998, while Beckham Jr. caught seven during a four-game stretch in 2014.
