Something weird happened at Lambeau Field Sunday.
In the first quarter of Green Bay's eventual 24-22 win over Houston, Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn hooked a kickoff wildly left and out of bounds at the Packers' 5-yard-line. An official threw the penalty flag for an out of bounds kickoff (25 yards from the spot of the kick). But when Fairbairn ran to the sidelines, his teammates cheered and high-fived him.
Fairbairn kicked from the 50-yard-line, instead of the 35-yard-line, because a Green Bay defender was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on the previous play, a Houston field goal.
