Kicker Anders Carlson and safety Rudy Ford helped the Green Bay Packers stage a rare comeback on Sunday in an 18-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
The Packers became the third NFL team in this century to win after they failed to score in the first three quarters and trailed by at least 17 points in the fourth quarter.
Carlson made both his kicks in the game. The rookie connected on a 38-yard field goal with 11:00 to play, then knocked through the deciding extra point after Green Bay’s second touchdown of the period with 2:56 remaining.
