The Green Bay Packers' big-play offense suffered a critical loss in their Week 18 finale against the Chicago Bears, with wide receiver Christian Watson suffering a torn ACL and other damage to his knee.

Watson averaged 21.4 yards per catch on 29 catches this season, but now the Packers will be without their best deep threat.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur says Christian Watson's injury is a big blow for the Packers, who prepare to face the Eagles in the wild-card playoffs.
