Game notes: Quay Walker feels ready for the regular season - Packers.com

Spin cycle: Packers rookie running back Tyler Goodson had a highlight reel moment when he pulled off a spin move at the goal line to complete his 24-yard touchdown run that put the Packers on the board in the second quarter.

Running behind a good seal block by right guard Jake Hanson, Goodson found an opening behind center Josh Myers at the second level to put him in position to beat one defender in pursuit of the end zone.

It capped an 11-play, 83-yard scoring drive.

"O-line did a good job today. Guys allowed me to have an open lane to run through," said Goodson, who finished with 54 yards on 12 touches. "Once I got through the lane, Josh Myers got to the second level. He made an outstanding block and I cut off him. All I had to do was make one guy miss and I was into the end zone."

With Kylin Hill being placed on the regular-season physically unable to perform list, Goodson is competing with Patrick Taylor and Dexter Williams for the No. 3 running back job.

"I'm glad I'm in this position to be able to compete. I love to compete," Goodson said. "Just going through these past three games, I learned a lot about myself, what are my strengths, what do I need to work on, and I'm going to continue to improve on those things and hopefully they decide to keep me here. I want to be here."

Toure leads the way: Samori Toure would've rather left Arrowhead Stadium with the victory but the rookie seventh-round pick was a four-quarter force against the Chiefs.

Toure caught a game-high six passes for a game-best 83 yards and was responsible for Green Bay's two longest receptions (of 22 and 23 yards) on Thursday night.

"We just wanted to come in there and make plays when the ball comes our way. That's what I tried to do," Toure said. "I feel like the game's been slowing down a little bit. I'm just trying to take advantage of the opportunities."

A hotly contested receiver competition was one of the biggest storylines throughout training camp, with Toure and fellow rookies Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs joining the fray this summer.

"I feel like every receiver in the room got better as camp went," said second-year receiver Amari Rodgers, who had seven touches for 56 yards vs. Kansas City. "You started see guys like Samori making plays tonight. He's a young guy that has made huge strides from OTAs all the way until now."
