Packers-Lions Fantasy Reaction: Injuries force youth into action

What a tough pill to swallow. It seemed like nothing was going to go right for the Packers from the get-go when an early call got overturned on a punt to say that Kevin King had touched the ball (he didn’t) and gave possession back to the Lions deep, deep in Packers’ territory. It was a proverbial snowball effect thereafter as the Packers were on the losing end of various penalty calls and one of the worst place kicking performances of all-time. That’s not hyperbole either. Mason Crosby was one of the first kickers to miss 4 field goals and an extra point since 1980 when Rolf Benirschke of the Chargers did it.
