The Green Bay Packers registered a 27-19 victory against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football. Packers quarterback Jordan Love led the team with a strong offensive performance against the Panthers.
Love, who completed 30-of-41 pass attempts for 288 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, shared his reaction to wide receiver Christian Watson’s injury scare during the first half of the game.
Thanks for the submission!
“That was crazy,” Love said. “There was a lot of people cheering, and stuff was going on. I didn’t know what was happening, and then I see Christian running out and he was just resurrected. It was great to see him.”

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson followed the game during hospital visit
Christian Watson, who was taken to the hospital to check for any potential internal bleeding, revealed that he was following the game before returning to Lambeau Field.
“One of the doctors had his phone out, I was just watching the play-by-play,” Watson said. “I couldn’t watch, but I was just watching the play-by-play. Uh, saw [Matthew Golden’s] touchdown. I was hyped. I saw Josh [Jacobs’] touchdown. I was like, ‘Alright, we’re doing something.’
“Then it got a little quiet because I was just left in the room by myself for a little while, but eventually they came in and said, ‘Alright, you’re good, you’re going back.’ And then that was that.”
Thursday’s victory means the Packers have won four of their last five games. They face off against the New England Patriots in Week 9.
