Matthew Golden caught 6-of-12 targets for 39 yards in the Packers’ Week 7 loss to the Lions.

26 October 2026

Golden’s 12 targets led all Packers receivers, but the speedster was unable to convert them into anything meaningful. Of the 12 targets Golden saw, four came on passes of 20-plus air yards. He managed to secure one of those passes for a 22-yard gain, but that was all he could manage in what ended up being a relatively low-scoring game despite the two teams combining for over 700 offensive yards. The 39 yards Golden posted on Sunday were good for his second-lowest total of the season, but he’s an air-yards king who is seeing the kind of volume we expect of a true WR1. He’s primed for a bounce-back in next week’s game against the Panthers.
