Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught four passes for 26 yards receiving and two touchdowns in a 38-20 win over the Bears, and he stepped up. Doubs was on the injury report early in the week before Sunday’s contest with a hamstring injury.
He seemed just fine in the game as he stepped up in the absence of wide receiver Christian Watson. Watson missed Sunday’s action due to a hamstring injury, and we will see if he returns in Week 2 for the Atlanta Falcons match on the road.
The first touchdown that Romeo Doubs caught was on an 8-yard pass from Jordan Love on their opening drive in the first quarter. The other touchdown that he caught in the game was in the fourth quarter on a 4-yard pass from him as well.
What was promising is that he caught two touchdowns in the game despite not having many yards. That is what a reliable wide receiver does. Doubs proved to be a number one wide receiver in the absence of Christian Watson.
Chemistry in the Preseason Between Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs Mattered For the Packers
What seems to be a lost art these days in the NFL is many teams not playing their starters during the preseason before the regular season. Well, is it maybe time to go back to that trend for a lot of teams? Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs connected in the preseason for the Packers, and it continued on Sunday.
It seems like this is going to be a trend all season long, and that is a very good thing. When Watson returns to the lineup, hopefully, Jordan Love can connect with Doubs and Watson for the Green Bay Packers. There is also a reason why many people believe that Doubs is projected to break out this season.
Week 1 was just a potential preview of the kind of season Romeo Doubs could potentially have for this football team. There will be weeks potentially where he has two touchdown games with very little yardage and then weeks with games where he could have eight receptions for 100 yards, for example, and no touchdowns. That’s the sign of a good receiver getting it done week in and week out, no matter what.
