Disaster struck when Christian Watson left the field for the Packers with a knee injury.
“Packers WR Christian Watson has a knee injury and is questionable to return tonight,” Schefter wrote on social media.
Assuming the Saints don’t go on some incredible, Week 16 Washington Commanders-style run where they completely take things over in the fourth quarter, the Packers will be sitting pretty at 11-5, holding the sixth seed in the playoffs behind the division winners and the Minnesota Vikings. While that isn’t a doomsday scenario with two games to play, as they would still be guaranteed a playoff spot and could fall no lower than seventh, playing against the Philadelphia Eagles is a lot tougher than the Los Angeles Rams and securing that sixth seed becomes a whole lot easier with Watson on the field, even with a ton of depth on the offensive side of the ball.
