NFL Trade Rumors
Packers WR Christian Watson spoke about scoring a big touchdown against the Bears and is thankful to be back following last season’s injury that had previously limited his speed.
“It means a lot to me, for sure. Honestly, I tried not to think about it that much, but as the game was kind of getting going, it was definitely creeping in my mind a little bit,” Watson said, via Dominique Yates of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I’m just so thankful and blessed to be able to do what I do, and I’m glad today panned out how it did.

You’ve got to really embrace that grind, embrace the challenge. It’s not going to be easy from here on out. We’ve got a great test in Denver coming up. Our guys really got to push and try to find any competitive advantage that we can get in order to go there, on the road, against a really quality opponent and find a way to get a win.”
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson only had two catches for 11 yards in the team’s loss on Sunday and told reporters he would rather have the win and zero catches.
“I’d rather win and not get the ball than lose and not get the ball,” Jefferson said, via Pro Football Talk. *“As long as we’re winning, this team is coming in here with a smile on our face and we have the confidence to continue on and better ourselves, and...
