Romeo Doubs Ignites Packers with Electrifying 60-Yard Catch Against Lions
Green Bay, WI – September 7, 2025
The Green Bay Packers couldn’t have scripted a better start to their showdown with the Detroit Lions. On the opening drive, wide receiver Romeo Doubs sent Lambeau Field into a frenzy with a spectacular 60-yard reception from quarterback Jordan Love, setting up a lightning-fast touchdown that put the Packers on the board in style.
The play unfolded with surgical precision. Facing single coverage down the sideline, Doubs accelerated past his defender, tracked Love’s deep ball perfectly, and hauled it in stride. Just moments later, Green Bay punched it into the end zone, giving the home crowd an early reason to roar.

For Doubs, the catch was another example of his growing chemistry with Love. Entering his third season, the 24-year-old receiver has steadily built a reputation as one of Green Bay’s most reliable downfield threats. Sunday’s explosive start against a divisional rival only reinforced that narrative.
"That’s what we’ve been working on all offseason — timing, trust, and attacking downfield," Doubs told reporters on the sideline. "When you connect on a play like that, it sets the tone for everything that follows."
Head coach Matt LaFleur echoed the sentiment, crediting both players for their execution. “It was a perfectly timed ball and a great route. That kind of play energizes the whole sideline.”
The early strike was especially significant given the stakes. Green Bay and Detroit have battled fiercely for NFC North supremacy, and momentum swings are often decisive. By striking first with a long-range highlight, the Packers made a statement of intent: they’re ready to dictate terms.
For Packers fans, the moment carried echoes of the team’s explosive offensive tradition — from Brett Favre’s bombs to Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Marys. Now, Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs are writing their own chapter, and if Sunday’s start is any indication, the connection could become a nightmare for defenses across the league.
