The team traveled to Minnesota to face off against the Vikings on Sunday, and things were going well for the Packers until The Spiral™ began. After leading for most of the game, things fell apart, and the Packers left the stadium with an 0-1 record after a 39-22 loss. You know the drill. Let’s dive in.Winner: Christian WatsonWR Christian Watson finished the game first half with 5 catches for 131 yards and 2 TDs. The entire Minnesota offense had 136 yards at halftime. With the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks in the offseason, and a contract extension signed this June, it was pretty evident Watson would be cemented as the Packers #1 receiver this year. And, like a moth to a flame, QB Jordan Love found him again and again during Sunday’s game. Watson is tough to beat downfield, and his hands have become extremely reliable. The receiver finished the game with 6 catches on 8 targets for 147 yards, and 2 TDs. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this in 2026, unless the offensive line continues to exist in its current form.Christian Watson 81-yard catch-and-run!GBvsMIN on CBS/Paramount+Stream on @NFLPluspic.twitter.com/SVOKajdaok— NFL (@NFL) September 13, 2026Another long connection between Love and Watson 🎯GBvsMIN on CBS/Paramount+Stream on @NFLPluspic.twitter.com/jFylZSxW2q— NFL (@NFL) September 13, 2026Winner: Keisean NixonThe always-chirpy DB faced a ton of scrutiny and criticism after the 2025 season ended, as well as throughout preseason. He’s never been one to humble himself, and this week, he backed it all up. On the very first play of the game, Nixon stopped RB Aaron Jones for a 1 yard loss. The next play? An interception with an 11 yard return. He combined for a sack with Jonathan Ford in the second quarter. And, in the third quarter, he applied heavy pressure on QB Carson Wentz, forcing a very quick incomplete pass. In total, Nixon had 5 tackles, including 1 for a loss, with 2 QB hits and 1 PD.

In the first quarter, he threw the longest TD pass of his career, an 81 yard bomb to Christian Watson. Later, he had a 30 yarder to TE Tucker Kraft. As the second quarter wound down, he made another massive heave to Watson to get the offense close to the endzone. This was all while he was forced to get the ball out quickly, and getting hit in the middle of doing so.Escapes the sack, makes the off-balance throw, gets the first down.Jordan Love making it
