The full read
Matthew Golden caught everything thrown his way against the Patriots: 10 targets, 10 catches, 164 yards, a touchdown and +13.2 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The biggest came up 7-0 with 10:50 left in the first. First and 10 at the Green Bay 33, out of a no-huddle, Jordan Love went deep right and Golden caught it for 49 yards to the New England 18: +3.3 EPA and 8.1 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Four snaps later, third and 5 at the 5, he caught a short pass over the middle for the touchdown, +2.7 EPA. Late in the first, up 14-0, he caught a 43-yarder deep right to the New England 19, and that drive ended in a 41-yard field goal.
He had never caught more than 7 passes in a game, and the 164 yards topped his 123 in Week 5. Through Week 8 he had 43 catches on 82 targets for 619 yards, 4 touchdowns and +7.3 EPA, +0.09 a target; here it was +1.32.
