Monday Musings: Unsung Hero

After rethinking about Sunday’s game against the Vikings, here are three things worth discussing: 1) Wide receiver Christian Watson has garnered all the attention, but a compelling argument can be made that Zach Tom is the 2022 Packers’ Rookie of the Year.

After re-watching Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, here are five seven things worth knowing: 1) Aaron Rodgers made a few incredible throws, a handful of inaccurate ones, and a couple of head-scratching decisions on Sunday.

Snap Judgments: Week 13
After rethinking about Sunday’s game against the Bears, here are three things worth discussing: 1) It’s still too soon to get overly excited about Christian Watson, but his recent four-game stretch has been nothing short of phenomenal.
