From the article

Christian Watson [9] is the receiver to that side, and he pushes hard vertically down the field. The Falcons are in a two-high look with their safeties, with the safety over Watson backpedaling against the vertical push from Watson. Watson puts on the brakes 15 yards down the field. Love hits Watson, who turns upfield to pick up a few more yards. By the time the whistle blows, it's a 22 yard gain.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Watson gains 22 yards on vertical variation of Packers' Dash motion.

Watson benefited from the Packers' expanding Dash motion variations in Week 3; he pushed vertically down the field against Atlanta's two-high safety look, drew the safety back, and settled into open space created by the motion concept for a 22-yard reception, demonstrating how the offense is building vertical plays off the run-action fake.
