Packers’ Mason Crosby Perfect on Five Attempts Just Days After Sister-In-Law’s Death

Family has been top of mind lately for Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby. On Friday, Crosby’s sister-in-law died after a three-year fight with ovarian cancer. He flew to Texas to be with his family then joined his teammates in New Jersey on Saturday ahead of the team’s game against the New York Giants.

In Green Bay’s 31-13 win over New York on Sunday, Crosby nailed all five of his kicks—a 47-yard field goal and four extra points—before flying back to Texas to re-join his family.

“In this situation, I’m just trying to be a rock, be there for my brother and for Brittany’s family and trying to be whatever I can,” Crosby said after the Packers’ win.
