Aaron Rodgers and Christian Watson Repeat the Supernatural Pairing To Surprise Titans Defense

Aaron Rodgers is bouncing back. This time, he is not alone, but with a young companion. The 38-year-old QB displayed his class in the game against the Cowboys last week. On Thursday Night Football, A-Rod helped record a TD in the first quarter. The star QB has made a big difference in the last two games, thanks to splendid support from rookie QB, Christian Watson.

The back-to-back MVP winner made a pass to Jon Runyan in the flat, but the pass was behind the TE. But that did not stop the superstar. The senior pro ran a quick play before the end of the quarter. He made use of a free play and took a shot down the field to Christian Watson.

The rookie, who came to the game after a brilliant show against the Cowboys, made the catch, to make it 7-6 at the end of the first quarter. A senior superstar, A-Rod, has four TDs from his last two games so far.

However, it came as a blessing in disguise as he developed a bond with the four-time MVP winner. A proud young gun later told the press that the faith shown by Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur had helped him develop the right frame of mind. The master and the disciple are making moves.
