Christian Watson emerging as perfect Adams replacement

It's never easy for a quarterback to adjust after losing an elite weapon. When you have a player like Christian Watson, though, it's a bit less painful.

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers went into Chicago to play their second-of-two contests against the Bears this season. Like their initial meeting in September, the Packers once again came out on top.

Green Bay's legendary signal caller threw for 182 yards and a touchdown, finding rookie wideout Christian Watson for six in the first half. Later in the fourth quarter, Watson was able to find the endzone again, but this time on the ground.

With two minutes left in the ball game, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur called a jet sweep handoff to Watson. Once the ball was in his hands, the 23-year-old had one thing on his mind: a touchdown. And thanks to his efforts, that's exactly what happened.

The Packers converted a two-point conversion to make it a multi-possession game, and the game was essentially over. Watson and his two scores were a major reason why.

Mark that as Green Bay's eighth-straight win against the Chicago Bears.

Aaron Rodgers and Christian Watson building chemistry as rookie's stellar season continues

Green Bay Packers v Philadelphia Eagles

Aaron Rodgers is starting to build a real connection with rookie wideout Christian Watson on the field. In fact, a game hasn't gone by yet where the Packers' second-round pick failed to log at least one catch.

This season, Watson has recorded 25 receptions for 401 yards and seven touchdowns through the air. On the ground, he's responsible for an additional 68 yards and two scores.

Watson's 16.0 yards per reception this season ranks sixth in the league.

More impressively, in the Packers' last four contests, the rookie wideout has logged eight total touchdowns, averaging two per contest. Watson has totaled more than 90 scrimmage yards in three of these four games.

Christian Watson is only trending up, and after parting ways with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, this is all Green Bay could've hoped for. If these last four games are any indication, the sky's the limit for the North Dakota State alum.
