The final kick of Mason Crosby’s 2019 season ensured the veteran Green Bay Packers kicker would tie the franchise’s record for field goal percentage in a single season.
Crosby connected from 33 yards out as time expired Sunday, sending the Packers to a 23-20 win over the Detroit Lions and clinching a first-round bye for Matt LaFleur’s team.
The kick also improved Crosby to 22 of 24 on field goals to finish 2019, tying Jan Stenerud’s record field goal percentage of 91.7.
Like Crosby, Stenerud also made 22 of 24 field goals in 1981.
Crosby made 40 of 41 extra points in 2019. He finished the season making 62 of 65 kicks overall.
Crosby’s previous high for field goal percentage of 89.2, set in 2013.
Crosby, who is a free agent following the 2019 season, now owns five of the top 10 seasons in terms of field goal percentage in team history.
