- Touchdown grab stands out amid quiet night for Jalen Coker
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker had two receptions, 36 yards, and a touchdown during the team's Week 8 meeting with the Green Bay Packers . He was targeted five times.
Why It Matters:Coker caught a fourth-down pass late in the game, dodged a would-be tackler and turned a quick crosser into a 26-yard touchdown. It was his only highlight on an otherwise forgettable night. Like basically everyone on Carolina's offense, Coker has seen his production dip the last two weeks as the offensive line struggles to protect Bryce Young long enough for routes to develop downfield. For Coker, Thursday night marked the third time in his last four games that he's finished with fewer than 40 yards. Following a hot start, Coker has slipped back into low-end WR3.
