Matthew Golden reveals secret to Packers closing out tight wins

While the Packers have recorded each of Green Bay’s three wins by at least three scores, it’s been the chemistry and cohesion that has helped prevent finger pointing during stretches of games where it feels like a struggle to put teams away.

“The chemistry,” is what rookie receiver Matthew Golden told reporters has been the key in those clutch moments. “We work a lot of things at practice so it’s nothing new to us. Whenever we’re put in those positions, we have the utmost confidence that we can get the job done. It shows whenever we need those important drives, I feel like we get them done every time.”

Golden has become an increasingly significant piece of the puzzle for the Packers’ offense, logging 14 catches for 212 yards since being chosen in the first round of April’s NFL Draft. The former University of Texas standout is quickly becoming both a favorite target for Jordan Love and one of the quarterback’s security blankets late in games when Green Bay needs a splash to move the chains.

“I feel like we do a great job of making sure we get the small things right,” Golden recently told reporters. “Whenever the time present(s) itself during the game, I feel like we’re all on the same page.”
