GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It took Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur all of two practices to change his tune on going into Friday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil with a kicker he has never seen in person in a game.
Before rookie kicker Brayden Narveson arrived at team headquarters last week, LaFleur called the situation "uncharted territory" and acknowledged that having a new, untested kicker could "absolutely, 100 percent," impact some in-game decisions.
But after Narveson has been nearly perfect in his first two kicking sessions in front of the team, LaFleur sounded more comfortable with the idea of going into a season like this.
