The Green Bay Packers rookie receiver got behind the coverage of Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown and made an over-the-shoulder catch to create a 58-yard touchdown.

Lambeau Leap time?

Nope. Backflip time.

Watson celebrated his first-ever touchdown (on a 15-yard run against the Patriots in Week 4) by leaping into the Lambeau Field stands. This time around, he went to the backflip.

The score tied Sunday’s game at 7-7 in the second quarter.

The Packers made Watson the 34th overall pick in the 2022 draft.

Watson’s 58-yard catch represents the longest passing play for the Packers this season and the longest play of the rookie’s career.
