Pack finally win it in OT

-

Mason Crosby hit a 49-yard field goal in overtime after missing three straight attempts, lifting the Packers to a wild 25-22 win over the Bengals on Sunday in Cincinnati.

The typically reliable Crosby missed potential winners with 2:12 and then 3 seconds left in regulation, and missed another attempt in OT before finally winning it. Heading into the game he was 44 of 46 on field-goal attempts since the start of the 2019 season.

Crosby, who missed an extra-point earlier and also made three FGs, came in having converted all six FG attempts and 11 PATs this year.

The Bengals’ Evan McPherson also missed kicks that could have won the game, with 26 seconds left in regulation and again in OT.
