Packers secure gritty away win behind Lukas Havrisik’s historic 61-yard rocket

The Green Bay Packers have dominated at Lambeau Field this season, winning all three of their home games, but they’re still chasing their first road victory as they face the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. Kicker Lucas Havrisik provided a highlight moment Sunday, drilling a franchise-record 61-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.

With one second remaining in the first half, Havrisik blasted a 61-yard field goal, setting a new franchise record for distance. It marked the Packers’ first-ever make from 60 yards or beyond, eclipsing Mason Crosby’s previous record of 58 yards that had stood since 2011.

Havrisik’s long field goal at the end of the half narrowed the gap to 13-6 heading into the break.

The first-place Packers seemed to have a straightforward task against a Cardinals squad that had dropped four straight games. Yet those losses were decided by just nine points, and the Cardinals came out sharp, showing energy on both sides of the ball.

The Packers offense came alive after halftime, pulling even at 20-20 early in the fourth quarter when Jordan Love connected with tight end Tucker Kraft for a 7-yard touchdown. The Packers then grabbed a 27-23 advantage late in the game on Josh Jacobs’ 1-yard run into the end zone.

Along with his historic kick, Havrisik also converted a 31-yard field goal. He has taken over kicking duties while Brandon McManus remains sidelined with a right quad injury. Havrisik was perfect on two field goal attempts in Green Bay’s Week 6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, carrying that momentum into his record-breaking outing against Arizona.

The Packers let a late lead slip away in a 13-10 defeat to the Cleveland Browns and also ended up in a 40-40 stalemate with the Dallas Cowboys. This time, though, their hard-fought road win over the Cardinals likely provided some much-needed momentum and satisfaction.

Green Bay will stay on the road in Week 8 for a matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Former Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers will surely be eager to show his former team that he remains a capable and driven leader.
