The Lass Word: Rookie Receivers Get a Pass, For Now

Explosive potential is worth the wait.

You never lose a game because of just one thing. The Green Bay Packers season opening loss to the Vikings was the result of several breakdowns by many different units and individuals. But the iconic image of the game that will endure in the hearts and minds of Packers fans is Christian Watson dropping that wide open long bomb on the very first offensive play. It was a sure 75 yard touchdown and we would like to think it might have changed the course of the game.

When you rewatch the play, you can see Watson turn his head downfield just as the ball is arriving.
