The Green Bay Packers are approaching another decade-long gap between kickoff return touchdowns.
The Packers haven’t returned a kickoff for a score since the first week of the 2011 season.
The Packers’ last kickoff return touchdown? Randall Cobb’s 108-yard return for a score during the Packers’ season-opening win over the New Orleans Saints in 2011.
The touchdown came in Cobb’s first-ever NFL game and marked the first touchdown scored by a player born in the 1990s.
Cobb’s return, which tied the NFL record for longest kickoff return for a touchdown in league history, gave the Packers a 35-20 lead in the third quarter of a wild opening game that finished in a dramatic 42-34 win at Lambeau Field.
