The Green Bay Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau Field for Week 10 of the regular season on Monday Night Football. Vegas currently likes Green Bay’s chance over Philadelphia, favoring them by 2.5 points. Since the Packers are 2.5-point favorites, Monday’s game could ultimately come down to a field goal, making it important for them to overcome their kicking woes.

Brandon McManus has struggled this season, especially since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him for Weeks 6 and 7, and currently has the second-lowest field goal percentage among active kickers at 68.8%. Since returning in Week 8, the one-time Super Bowl champion has made just four of seven field goal attempts while making all four extra points. As a result, the Packers have held a kicker competition this week between McManus and Lucas Havrisik.
Green Bay Packers’ special teams coach names the Week 10 kicker
Green Bay Packers, Rich Bisaccia
Green Bay Packers place kicker Brandon McManus (17) watches his extra point during the fourth quarter of their game against the Carolina Panthers Sunday, November 2, 2025 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
During Friday’s press conference, Rich Bisaccia shared that Brandon McManus is expected to handle kicking duties against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, as reported by Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated. Many fans are skeptical of this decision, citing McManus’s quad, which may not be 100%, and noting that in the Packers’ tie and two losses, a missed field goal or extra point played a key role in the outcome of those games. Finally, fans are calling for Bisaccia to be fired.
“If you’re asking me, it’s Brandon McManus,” Bisaccia says when asked who’s kicking on Monday.

A kick was missed in every game the Packers did not win this season. Point differential of -3 or less. 😒

It’s a tragedy he is going to be the special teams coach Monday night;
— WiscHawg (@WiscHawg) November 7, 2025
“he’s getting healthier” infers he hasn’t been healthy, and bad enough to merit that comment.
Absolute fraud of a ST coach.

I wouldn’t trust Bisaccias opinion on if the coffee tastes good.
— CitizenC (@charles29243738) November 7, 2025
Rich, respectfully, get off my team
— Roman Trapani (@romantrapani) November 7, 2025
This team deserves all the missed field goals and missed extra points they get.
— Ben Yellow-Covfefe (@CactusBump) November 7, 2025
Can’t wait to see more misses that cost us games
— Jake (@kakejatz) November 7, 2025
Explain to me why tf an unhealthy kicker is kicking
— BrewMasterMurphy (@tfromfranklin) November 7, 2025
It’s the right choice for now to stick with the guy you started the year with (if he’s actually healthy) pic.twitter.com/4FslT4Wfvr
— Chris (@g0packg010) November 7, 2025
Kinda funny to make Rich be the bearer of bad news here
— Jake Wilkins (@JakeWilkns) November 7, 2025
and I again go back to what I was saying on the lasted episode of @Ohana_Packers, I think MLF is trusting wayyyyyy too much in Bisaccia. Matt needs to cut the cord.
