Star of the night for

looks like rookie WR Samori Toure. He just got behind the defense and hauled in a deep ball from Jordan Love. One play earlier, Love threw a nice touch pass on a rollout to Doubs near the sideline.
Rookie Kamal Martin just blew up a running play. Again. Then comes off block nicely to defend a screen. Hard not to notice the fifth-round pick from Minnesota.

#Packers
dope sheet...

against the Steelers at Lambeau Field. It is the only team in the league he has not started against at home.

Rookie CB
@_jamane_
stepped into the starting lineup in Week 3 & never looked back.

When it comes to this young
#Packers
receiving corps, there's a lot of meaning in this quote from LaFleur: "You don't know who's going to be that guy ... (and) I don't think they care who's that guy." More in the story:
“You never really know who's going to have the big game for us in the receiver room.”
The
#Packers
