Ahead of the Green Bay Packers' Thanksgiving matchup against the Detroit Lions, Matthew Golden was ruled out with a wrist injury, joining Savion Williams and Jayden Reed on the sideline. This meant Dontayvion Wicks would act as the team's WR3. Unfortunately for the Lions, he was interested in more than just being a support act.
The third-year player recorded six receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns, and ended the night with a game-sealing fourth-down conversion. Arguably the most effective offensive player not named Jordan Love, Wicks surprised everyone with some jaw-dropping catches, showing off a clutch gene in the most important game the Packers have played this season.
