Packers kicker Anders Carlson is leaning on what he learned last season and the advice of brother Daniel Joseph as he battles Greg Joseph and Jack Podlesny.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Coming off a rocky rookie season, Anders Carlson said he’s not bothered by the Green Bay Packers’ three-man kicking battle.
That was it for Carlson. Even as he got into a miss-a-game rut that lasted through the season-ending loss at San Francisco, the Packers didn’t bring in a challenger. Carlson made every kick in the first five games. However, he had a miss in eight of the final 10 regular-season games as well as the playoff win at Dallas. For Carlson, there was always a next kick and a next game to reset his focus. Not after his critical miss at San Francisco. His 41-yard field goal with 6:21 to play sailed wide left. Had he made it, the Packers would have extended their lead to 24-17. Instead, the 49ers took possession at their 31 and drove to the winning touchdown.
