A 20-yard completion to Davante Adams set up the Packers for a 49ers-style victory. But, after Aaron Rodgers clocked the ball with 3 seconds to go, Mason Crosby was just a hair left on a 51-yarder as time expired. Crosby missed two field goals and an extra point, then lost the coin toss.
Bengals kicker Evan McPherson drilled the right upright on a 57-yard field goal that might have won the game.
Crosby:
Battered worse than at any point in coach Matt LaFleur’s tenure, the Green Bay Packers overcame extensive injuries to post maybe their most impressive win of the season, a 25-22 overtime victory Sunday on the road against the upstart Cincinnati Bengals.
The Packers missed three consecutive field goals, each wide left. The final two would have given them a win. Mason Crosby finally ended the drought with a 49-yard field goal with 1:55 left in overtime.
Kicker:
The Packers’ fourth straight win came with four of their seven best players unavailable. Cornerback Jaire Alexander joined edge rusher Za’Darius Smith on injured reserve this week.
Left tackle David Bakhtiari remains on the physically unable to perform list, and left guard Elgton Jenkins missed his third straight game, the equivalent to a short-term IR stint.
Bengals:
The Packers thought the game was won three times before their 25-22 victory was complete. They also thought it was lost twice. Five missed field goals, all within the final two minutes, 12 seconds of regulation, each more shocking than the one before.
Finally, Mason Crosby found that space between the uprights from 49 yards with 1:55 left in overtime, sending his team back to a grateful reprieve, finding solace inside that visitors’ locker room.
Line:
The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Green Bay Packers at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday, October 10, 2021, at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.

Aaron Rodgers did not look good in Week 1. He had the worst game of his career in a loss to the New Orleans Saints, but he has been back to his old self the last three weeks. Rodgers has yet to throw for more than 300 yards in a game, yet he has tossed eight touchdowns without an interception during the winning streak.
