Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had the game of his life in his first playoff performance against the Dallas Cowboys. He caught six passes for 151 yards receiving and one touchdown in a 48-32 blowout win for Green Bay over Dallas.
Doubs was unguardable all game long. He caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the fourth quarter. This was Love’s first career playoff start and he was outstanding from start to finish. He completed 16-of-21 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns.
This was the third consecutive week that the Packers had a receiver go over 100 yards in a football game after not having someone go over 100 yards receiving in the first 15 games of the season. Bo Melton and Jayden Reed are the only other two players on the Green Bay Packers roster to do so this season.
Also with Romeo Doubs going over 150 yards receiving in a playoff game, the only other Packers wide receiver to accomplish that feat was Davante Adams. Doubs just a week ago was coughing up blood and this goes to show how tough he is.
Romeo Doubs Going Off For the Green Bay Packers Shows How Deep They are at Wide Receiver
With the wide receiver group being so young for the Packers, quarterback Jordan Love does not rely on one wide receiver to get his production. Doubs is the latest example of why Green Bay has such a deep wide-receiver group. Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Doubs have been the most consistent players this season and they were the top three wide receivers on the field on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
Christian Watson was active on Sunday for the first time in weeks and the Packers used his vertical threat to lure defenders off of Doubs and other pass catchers. Malik Heath was the healthy scratch at the position. Head coach Matt LaFleur told Ryan Wood, the Green Bay Packers beat writer for U.S.A. Today about why Heath was the odd man out on Sunday:
“The depth that we have, I’m not sure I’ve ever been around it, where we’ve got six or seven guys who can all make plays.”
What also makes this offense more dangerous is that tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft are healthy. Doubs and this Packers receiving group make this team dangerous for the rest of the postseason.
