Havrisik Sets Packers' 61-Yard FG Record

News summary

Lucas Havrisik, a former Arizona kicker who spent time on multiple NFL rosters and in the UFL, nearly sought substitute-teaching work before signing with the Green Bay Packers after Brandon McManus suffered a quadriceps injury. In Sunday’s 27-23 road win at Arizona, he made a 31-yard field goal and a franchise-record 61-yard kick as time expired in the first half, the longest field goal in Packers history. The record kick helped erase a 13-6 halftime deficit as Green Bay rallied in the second half and took a late lead on Josh Jacobs’ 1-yard touchdown run. CBS reports Havrisik is 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-6 on PATs through two games, and he has provided immediate impact filling in for McManus. The Packers are on the road next week at Pittsburgh as Havrisik looks to build on his early success.
