NFL: The Insiders on Christian Watson

PodcastNFL is a Game of Inches... and Mistakes | NFL Pro Week 5 Sunday Reaction ShowOctober 12, 2026

From the episode

This is the first time a Packers receiver has got multiple 40-plus yard touchdowns in a single game since Jordy Nelson, was it 12 years ago? Also conveniently against the Bears. So, this was a pretty significant performance by Christian Watson. He's also the only player in the NFL to have multiple 140-plus yard games with multiple touchdowns.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Watson's dual 40+ yard TDs matches Jordy Nelson's 2012 feat; most productive at position.

Christian Watson had multiple 40+ yard touchdowns in a single game, the first Packers receiver to do so since Jordy Nelson 12 years ago (also against the Bears); Watson is the only player in the NFL with multiple 140+ yard games with multiple touchdowns; he is one of the most productive players at any position in the NFL this young season.
