Matthew Golden didn't score a single touchdown during the regular season for the Green Bay Packers.

However, the rookie finally found pay dirt in the most important game of the year for his team, and he did so in impressive fashion.

Golden caught a short pass from quarterback Jordan Love late in the fourth quarter of the wild-card game against the Chicago Bears on Saturday night and broke multiple tackles en route to finding the end zone for six.

It has been a tough season for the first-round pick, who struggled in his first season and didn't have much of a role in the offense.

It's safe to say, all is forgotten after that clutch score versus Chicago.

Golden's touchdown was huge for Green Bay, as it put the brakes on the Bears' comeback attempt.

Prior to Golden's score, the Packers, who dominated in the first half, had not scored at all in the second half and the Bears were chipping away at what was once an 18-point deficit.
