Jalen Coker caught 2 of 5 targets against the Packers and scored his first touchdown since Week 1, in Carolina's 27-19 loss at Green Bay on Thursday night. Down 27-13 with 5:45 left, fourth and 3 at the Green Bay 26, he caught a short pass over the middle from Bryce Young and took it 26 yards for the score, +4.96 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The costliest throw also went his way. Down 13-10 late in the first half, third and 3 at the Carolina 48, Ty'Ron Hopper intercepted a short pass intended for him, -4.43 EPA, and Green Bay scored five plays later. On the final snap he took a lateral from Tetairoa McMillan and fumbled, and Brenton Cox Jr. recovered. Through Week 7 he had 25 catches on 39 targets for 328 yards and 2 touchdowns, +0.22 EPA a target.
