Over a two-week span, we at Acme Packing Company are breaking down the 2017 Green Bay Packers position-by-position. Today we conclude the analysis with a look at the Packers’ special teams units.
15/19 field goals (78.9%), 33/35 PATs (94.3%)
Crosby had never attempted fewer than 28 field goals in a season before 2017, which makes his 19 attempts a stunningly low number. Of course, this was largely due to the offense’s inconsistency (read: inability to move the football) and their odd success scoring touchdowns in the red zone. In fact, the Packers somehow ranked fourth in the NFL in red zone touchdown percentage at 61.
