Mason Crosby
On a day where the Packers offense was able to produce a couple of TDs but continued to stall out in the red zone, their kicker was able to step up and provide them crucial points.
While he missed one of his attempts, Mason Crosby was 4/5 on the day. Including his PATs, he accounted for 14 points on the day himself.
Getting two touchdowns worth of points in a close game is reason enough for a mention in my book. The fact that he’s been playing well all season (20/23 FGs) just clinches it.
