Packers kicker Crosby on a roll

Posted:

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is in the best groove of his NFL career and is on the cusp of a team record.

Crosby made all four field-goal attempts, including a 56-yarder that tied his own franchise record, in the Packers' 25-14 win at Atlanta last weekend. He enters Sunday's game against St. Louis having made all nine of his attempts this season and 16 straight regular-season field-goal attempts dating back to last season.

Chris Jacke holds the team record with a 17-kick streak in 1993.

Crosby's 56-yarder that cut Atlanta's lead to 14-9 with 5 minutes left in the third quarter gave the Packers a lift after starting the game in a 14-0 hole. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said the kick was "the spark" the team needed.
