Green Bay used its familiar Dash motion to set up a 22-yard pass to Christian Watson against Atlanta: Josh Whyle’s pre-snap movement drew linebacker Divine Deablo toward the run, while Watson stopped 15 yards downfield for Jordan Love’s completion.
The play opened the second half, with the Packers trailing 17-7 at midfield. Green Bay had mostly used Dash—a tight end arcing into motion before the snap—as a power-run look, with the moving tight end blocking the end man on the line and a guard pulling from that side.
Earlier, Matthew Golden gained a first down on a backside slant against a Week 1 blitz, then caught a bubble pass in Week 2 that helped set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. The article describes those as small variations on the run concept and Watson’s route as a vertical variation.
