Eight months ago, the Green Bay Packers were in prime position to pull off their second-consecutive major postseason upset, as they had the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers on the ropes heading into the 4th quarter of their Divisional Round matchup. The Packers carried a seven point lead into the final fifteen minutes, but immediately saw that lead dwindle to four after 49ers kicker Jake Moody banged home a 52-yard field goal. Just about nine minutes later, Packers kicker Anders Carlson had the chance to push the lead back to seven, but the rookie pushed a 41-yard attempt wide left, opening the door for San Francisco to march down the field and take the lead for good with just a minute to go.
