Packers’ Mason Crosby shanks terrible game-winning FG attempt
Most of Rodgers’s yardage came late in the game as the Packers were mounting a furious comeback that came up short when Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal with five seconds left. “It’s the first one in this quarter (of the season), against a division foe that’s been outstanding within this league”. Stafford secured the lead with a late touchdown to Lance Moore. Without an effective running game, Rodgers has looked helpless at times moving the Packers through the air.
Tight end Richard Rodgers, “we’ve just got to finish”. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn’t only disappointed by how his day ended, he was also disappointed with how it began. That made it first-and-10 from the 11 with 36 seconds to go.
On the next play, Rodgers found Perillo for a touchdown with:32 to play.
Backup cornerback Crezdon Butler, signed from the practice squad on Friday, stuck a hand in front of Davante Adams to break up the 2-point try.
Ive been a part of a few insane ones here that weve lost and I felt better about winning it then maybe I did right then Its just the way the game goes sometimes, Stafford said after the win.
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, on whether he’s contemplating taking back the offensive play-calling responsibilities: “I don’t think it’s that simple”.
The LIons fumbled an onside kick and it looked like Green Bay was going to pull it off. Aaaaaaand Matt Prater missed a pair of extra points to keep things interesting. “I hate it. It kills me inside”. The win improved the Lions to 2-7, while the Packers have lost three in a row after a 6-0 start.
“We had some opportunities, I missed some throws and we missed some opportunities to convert and put some more points on the board”, Rodgers said. Whether they’re tough catches, or they’re easy catches, we’ve got to make a play. Aaron Rodgers has been putting up strong numbers and he comes into the game with 1937 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and three interceptions.
You get the plays to fall your way and sometimes its only one and that was all it took for us tonight, Stafford said.
“We played physical”, Butler said.
In 2011, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin returned a kickoff 104 yards without scoring. Not that it mattered. Randall Cobb led in receiving with 99 yards and one touchdown in four receptions.
Buccaneers 10, Cowboys 6: Jameis Winston scored on a 1-yard quarterback keeper with 54 seconds remaining, extending Dallas’ longest losing streak since 1989 to seven games.
