Golden's corner route TD shows trust after drop; good route awareness and leverage
Golden caught a touchdown on a corner route from the #3 receiver spot on Play 2, immediately after dropping a TD on a Huggo (Packers are 1-for-3 on Huggos this year). Love went right back to him on the next play, running a deep Smash variant. Golden showed good awareness looking back at Love for a hot throw, then pushed vertically and gained inside leverage when Wheatley drifted to protect the post, allowing Love to lay the ball up for an easy catch in the end zone.
