GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brandon McManus still has a few of things to work on: Learning everyone's name on the Green Bay Packers, how to do a Lambeau Leap and who invented the famous celebration should top his list.

The important stuff -- like, for example, nailing a game-winning field goal as time expires just five days after joining a new team -- he has down pat.

The 11th-year veteran, who had not kicked in a game since the end of last season before the Packers signed him on Tuesday, drilled a 45-yarder on his first official field goal with the team to give Green Bay a 24-22 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
