Packers kicker Mason Crosby gets game ball after family death

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mason Crosby had more to deal with Sunday than just snowy weather that could make a kicker's job a nightmare, even one who kicks for the team in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Yet, when the Packers kicker lined up for a 47-yarder with wind blowing snow around MetLife Stadium and with the game against the New York Giants still close in the second quarter, Crosby nailed it just like he's done on all but one kick this season.

And after the Packers' 31-13 win, he somehow kept his composure despite what has been a nightmarish week in a season full of family concerns.
