The Packers slot receiver suffered an ankle injury and was ruled out by halftime.

Christian Watson and Matthew Golden have been the Packers' lead receivers all season. Jayden Reed has been the slot option over the last few seasons when healthy, but Reed is out for the season. This has left Moore as the team’s slot receiver. On the first two drives, Moore played all 11 snaps out of 11 personnel. This left Bo Melton as Green Bay’s slot receiver for the rest of the game, even though he hasn’t typically played in the slot during his career. The more the Packers need to go down the depth chart in the slot, the higher the target rate will be for their stars, including Watson, Golden and tight end Tucker Kraft. The three each tallied 5-to-6 receptions, with Watson and Golden both exceeding 120 yards.
