Christian Watson didn\u2019t literally come back from the dead on \u201cThursday Night Football.\u201d<\/p>\n
But what the Green Bay Packers<\/a> receiver pulled off during his team\u2019s 27-19 win over the Carolina Panthers was nearly as dramatic.<\/p>\n \u201cHe resurrected himself,\u201d quarterback Jordan Love said during a postgame interview<\/a> on Prime Video. <\/p>\n Injured while making a 53-yard catch at the 9:11 mark of the second quarter \u2014 he later said he might have landed with the ball or his elbow in his chest \u2014 Watson was having trouble breathing on the field and coughed up some blood on the sideline. Prime cameras showed him climbing into an ambulance under his own power and still wearing his pads.<\/p>\n Less than an hour later, the same cameras showed Watson climbing out of the ambulance and jogging out of the tunnel at Lambeau Field, much to the surprise and delight of his teammates and the crowd. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was super dramatic,\u201d Watson told reporters<\/a> in the locker room after the game. \u201cI used to watch WWE as a kid \u2014 I felt like I was watching \u2018WWE SmackDown vs. Raw\u2019 or something out there, you know, seeing the cameras on me when I got out of the ambulance, that was a little crazy. It was a surreal experience, no doubt, just to go through that and have you know the fans cheering for me getting back out there. It was definitely exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n It was a scene Watson would have liked to have avoided in the first place. <\/p>\n
