Crosby made 88.9% of his last 45 kicks between training camp practices and games (his career average is 78%), he booted a franchise-record 56-yard field goal in Sunday’s season-opening win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Packers’ special teams crew, coming off a well-rounded performance in last week’s season-opening victory at Philadelphia, must have another strong performance to prevent the nearly two-touchdown underdogs from springing an upset. The Eagles’ special teams, coached by well-respected former Bills assistant Bobby April, were thought to be considerably better than the Packers’ group, and so are the Bills, who are now coached by April’s replacement, Bruce DeHaven.
