Anders Carlson’s Christmas Eve in Charlotte was a wild ride: the Green Bay Packers rookie kicker missed an extra point, connected on a career long 53-yard field goal and made the game-winning field goal during a 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Carlson missed an extra point after the Packers’ second touchdown, his fourth miss (29 of 33) on a point after attempt this season. It was a high snap and the kick never really had a chance. Instead of a 14-3 lead, the Packers took a 13-3 advantage.
But Carlson was perfect from there and became a big reason why the Packers won the game.
