The Green Bay Packers recorded their third win in the 2025 NFL season when they took down the Cincinnati Bengals at home on Sunday, 27-18.
Green Bay’s offense took some time to hit its stride against the Bengals, but it got the job done nevertheless.
Rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden showed out, albeit in limited touches downfield, as he paced the Packers in receiving yards while adding some more on the ground. Using his speed, he made eye-catching plays to contribute to Green Bay’s attack that generated 409 total yards.
Golden has been playing better and better each passing game. The more experience he gets, the more productive he becomes on the field, just based on his performances of late. Against the Bengals, the former Texas Longhorns star wideout produced 86 receiving yards — his most so far in a game in the NFL, on just three receptions and five targets.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday morning, Golden shared a snapshot in the Bengals game, which shows him celebrating after seemingly completing a catch.
