“I just got to find a way to get better,” said Christian Watson before the week 12 matchup against the 49ers. Looks like he has to improve a lot. Though the Packers won the game 38-10 in an outstanding fashion, the receiver made a mistake on a pass by Jordan Love pass which he wouldn’t like to repeat. It made everyone in the NFL world go crazy, including the GOAT Tom Brady. Here’s what happened during the game.

During the 2nd quarter, the quarterback made a 49-yard touchdown pass to the receiver which he would have easily received. Oh, man! He fumbled it. Fans gasped at his mistake. But not taking it too much to the heart, the WR finished the game without any reception and had 1 rush for 4 yards. After the game, when asked about it, he didn’t make any excuse and replied, “I just dropped it.” But the drop surprised QB-turned-commentator Tom Brady.

He was on the mic, and when he saw the pass being dropped, he couldn’t control his emotions, saying, “You can not throw a ball better than that. That is not the highest degree of difficulty catch for caliber of talent that he (Watson) has had.” The GOAT’s words will ring in his ears for many years.

While Jordan Love would also be disappointed with Watson’s fumble, Brady’s praise will lighten him up. TB12 was in awe of the quarterback’s talent and said, “Oh man, what a throw by Love.” After a tough 20-19 win against the Bears in week 11, the Packers QB was ready. He was all in, winning against the 49ers as well. It was a revenge game for the Packers after losing the divisional playoff game last year.

Jordan Love got his revenge on the 49ers

The Niners Empire is getting crushed, particularly in the revenge games. They couldn’t take revenge on the Chiefs in week 7, and couldn’t stop the Packers from taking revenge in week 12. In the post-game presser, Jordan Love was elated and said, “Coming off the playoff loss last years, you know, we wanted to see those guys. It feels good, and I think any win feels good.” The intensity reflected on the ground, too.

With 13 of 23 passes (56% completion rate) in 163 yards with 2 touchdowns, Jordan Love led his O-line. He might have felt bad when Watson missed that pass, but isn’t thinking much about it. Mistakes can happen during the game. The team will be working on those in the practice.

The Packers are in the wild cards with 8 wins and 3 losses. Can he keep them in the playoff contention? That’s the bigger task they have right now. It’s one game at a time. They have to play their divisional rivals, Lions and Vikings. Both of which are placed above them in the NFC North. Exciting times are coming!
