The Green Bay Packers beat the Los Angeles Chargers 23-20 at Lambeau Field. It was a solid offensive performance, especially from players like Jordan Love, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks. The five players to watch, though, had mixed performances.

Let’s check out.

Christian Watson

One target in the entire first half, with zero receptions and a false start. In the second half, it wasn’t a particularly impressive performance by the second-year receiver either, but he had a great separation on one play to score an important touchdown.

Even though he scored once, Watson still needs to drive more volume, and he hasn’t been able to do so. Right now, he was supposed to be the Packers WR1, but Jayden Reed is that, while Romeo Doubs has been the true X receiver. At this point, Watson has the Marquez Valdes-Scantling role, with eventual big plays, but nothing close to consistency. He finished the game with two receptions for 21 yards.

Aaron Jones

Unfortunately, it was a bad afternoon for Aaron Jones — and it wasn’t his fault. He had 13 scrimmage yards in four touches and left the game with what looked to be a bad knee injury. Considering his contract situation and the new injury, which seems serious, it's impossible not to think about the future. He's slated to make $12 million in 2024, and if he isn't willing to take another significant paycut, maybe this was his last game as a Packer.

Kenny Clark

Once again, Clark wasn't as productive as the Packers hoped and needed. Second-year player Devonte Wyatt and rookie Karl Brooks were more impactful playing from the interior, and while this is good for the Packers future, Clark is their most talented piece of the rotation.

Quay Walker

Back from a groin injury, the second-year linebacker was an important piece for the defense. He was active on the second level, being aggressive and instinctive. De’Vondre Campbell got hurt in the fourth quarter, so Walker’s role is even bigger and more relevant to the team. He finished the game with five tackles. Austin Ekeler still had a solid performance, eclipsing six yards per rush, but that was more on the defensive line, as Walker was effectively operating behind it.

Anthony Johnson Jr.

Johnson didn't have a spectacular game, but he saved a touchdown in the first half after a long run by Austin Ekeler. He was the deep safety, and the Chargers' gameplan didn't include many deep shots. Johnson hasn't been great in run support, but at least he deserves more playing time than veteran safety Jonathan Owens, who gave up a big 51-yard touchdown from tight end Stone Smartt. Johnson finished the game with three tackles.

An awful moment for the star running back.
