"It's a frustrating one just because honestly, like I said, pregame was good, felt solid," Crosby said. "Honestly, every attempt I felt like I was in rhythm going through it. It was one of those days that just wasn't there. I've done this a long time, and I've never had a day where it wasn't there like that. We'll look at it, look at every facet of it and flush it and hopefully move on."

Crosby's first three attempts were all within striking distance. He narrowly missed wide left on his first try, hit the right upright from 42, pushed it right from 38 and then had an extra point hit the left upright.

As challenging as the day was, Crosby was blown away by the support of his teammates. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers put his arm around Crosby and consoled him after one miss, while several players rallied around the veteran kicker after Crosby made his last attempt from 41 with two seconds remaining.

"Mason and I have been close friends for a long time," said Rodgers afterward. "We sit next to each other on the planes. We've known each other for years, obviously spent some holidays together. I love him. He's a great guy. I think he's one of the greatest kickers of all time. I've always said he and Robbie Gould, what they do in the elements over the years is some of the finest kicking that I've seen in my time."
