The Packers still have hope after defeating the Rams on MNF.
For the fourth time this season, rookie receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs played an entire game together. In context, that’s a bit misleading. Because it was the first time Doubs has been on the field since Watson exploded into something of a supernova, scoring eight touchdowns in four games before Monday night.
Watson was quieter than he’s been, though his speed remained a noticeable threat, especially on a 16-yard penalty for pass interference on a deep shot in the second half. His ability to stretch the field also helped open things up for Doubs. It’s easy to forget now, but it was Doubs who stood out first this season. Since training camp, he has shown his potential. Doubs finished with a team-high five catches for 55 yards, each coming on the short and intermediate levels.
The rest of the Packers defensive front followed suit, wrecking the Rams offense throughout Monday’s win. The Packers had three sacks, six quarterback hits and four tackles for loss in the first half alone. The third sack, a missile blitz from rookie linebacker Quay Walker, forced Baker Mayfield to fumble . The Rams entered Monday night allowing 46 sacks this season, fourth most in the NFL. Even without Rashan Gary , the Packers showed they have enough pass rush to dominate a bad offensive line.
Rich Bisaccia, the Packers first-year special teams coordinator, was Nixon’s special teams coordinator for three seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. He made the switch to kickoff returner much earlier in this season, but it wasn’t until Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys he fielded a punt. Since then, the Packers punt return game has come to life. Nixon has six punt returns for 92 yards this season – a 15.3-yard average – including a pair of returns for 36 yards Monday night.
Nixon is unconventional, if not daring, fielding punts that others might not. It’s a risky way to live, but he hasn’t had fielding issues on any of his six attempts. So far, the reward has greatly outweighed the gamble.
