The play that energized everyone at Lambeau Field on a sweltering Sunday afternoon was one that hadn’t been done since 2012.
That’s how long it has been since the Packers blocked a punt for a touchdown. The person behind it was special teams coordinator Ron Zook.
The moment Josh Jackson gently came down in the north end zone marked the first special teams touchdown by the Packers since 2014.
“I had the easy job,” Jackson said after the Vikings and Packers tied 29-29. “All I had to do was catch it. But G-Mo got through and he was able to get his hand on the ball, pop it right up and right place right time.
