Christian Watson gave the Green Bay Packers a huge spark on Sunday. The rookie caught a 58-yard touchdown pass to tie the Packers with the Dallas Cowboys. He did this by burning one of the NFL’s best corners, Trevon Diggs. The play came a drive after Rodgers was injured during a sack that he fumbled on.

Watson, who has missed significant time the previous two weeks with the NFL’s concussion protocol, celebrated the much-needed touchdown. Watson did an endzone flip that excited the Lambeau Field crowd:

The Packers need much more of where that came from to beat the Cowboys. The two teams were tied with about two minutes to go in the second quarter. The Packers’ defense helped to keep the team in the game. Rudy Ford had two first-half interceptions for the defense.
