Rookie kicker Anders Carlson gives Packers reason to stay confident against Seahawks

Related Topics: Anders Carlson

Rookie kicker Anders Carlson has been through his fair share of ups and downs since being drafted by the Green Bay Packers. Saturday’s preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks was no different.

Carlson started the game by making his first field goal from 43 yards. Two series later, he trotted back onto the field to try and cap off an 80-yard touchdown drive. Unfortunately, his extra point attempt was blocked when Seahawks corner Michael Jackson came screaming off the edge untouched.

Of course, the block wasn’t on Carlson. After the game, he said they would go back and check the timing of the operation but noted that it felt good coming off his foot.
