Matthew Golden entered the league with first-round expectations. Now that he is finally entering breakout territory, Matt LaFleur stubbornly won't allow him to smash through the glass ceiling.
Golden starred in the Green Bay Packers' 27-18 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, producing multiple big-time receptions to drive the victory over the goal line. He is gaining Jordan Love's trust in a hurry, hauling in three catches for 86 yards.
It should leave LaFleur with an obvious decision: to make Golden the guy in the passing game. Apparently not.
"It is what it is, guys," LaFleur told reporters when asked if Golden deserves more opportunities.
