Christian Watson's deep catch boosts Packers' struggling offense

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- When Jordan Love underthrew a deep ball (again) that Christian Watson failed to adjust to (again) in the second quarter Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, it looked like another day of the same old, same old from the Green Bay Packers' punchless offense

Without having a knack for making anything happen downfield and without a receiver who could pull it off, Love seemed doomed to repeat the offensive frustrations of the first seven games this season.

Except the Packers had a couple of new things going for them against the Rams: They had a first-half touchdown (the first in 49 days) and they had an unrestricted Aaron Jones (the first time since the running back injured a hamstring in the season opener).
