If the Chiefs took WR Christian Watson at 30…

28-14, 4th and 7. Green Bay needs to convert, and this play happens:

Christian Watson needed this game SO badly.

So happy to see him play the way we've been expecting all season.pic.twitter.com/DNXK9sXXrI

You'll notice Dallas does press the top WR in the bunch formation but since Green Bay is in bunch, Dallas can't press Watson which gives him a free release. The rest is history as he torches the DB in coverage and out runs the safety who is in single high coverage. If you don't believe me, take a look at what Brett Kollmann said:

They dialed up a middle read concept on 4th and 7 with him as the primary and he housed it.

Rodgers trusted HIM to run it. Not Lazard, not Tonyan, not Watkins, not Toure.

He needed a play and said "go call me something for the 6'4 dude that runs like a deer". And they did.

It will be interesting to see if this big game can have a domino effect on his season. Confidence can absolutely make or break you, excited to see what he does rest of season.

A little confidence can be a huge difference maker, for certain.
