After struggling badly last week, Mason Crosby managed to kick away his issues last night.

A week after he basically lost a game for the Packers by missing four field goals and an extra point, Crosby nailed four field goals for Green Bay, including a 27-yard game-winner.

Crosby’s final kick gave the Pack a 33-30 victory over the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.

Crosby’s heroics were set up by a number of clutch throws from Aaron Rodgers, who helped guide the Packers into field goal range despite having no timeouts and very little time on the clock.

Though he didn’t win the game with a touchdown, the Packers quarterback ended his night with 425 passing yards and two scores, both to Davante Adams.

For last night at least, Rodgers was fine with Crosby being the hero.

“It’s very appropriate, what he went through last week, (for) the team to stick with him,” Rodgers said. “And then he responded.”
