This season, the Green Bay Packers are among the final eight teams standing. Now that the Packers have defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round, they have to go to the west to play the San Francisco 49ers.
A significant portion of Green Bay’s success this season has come from rookies and second-year players. They have really broken the record for the most statistics recorded by players in their first and second years of skill positions. But head coach Matt LaFleur made a firm stand against a youngster who has had difficulty at times this season today.
Matt LaFleur’s Declaration About Kicker Anders Carlson’s Future
As stated by USA Today’s Ryan Wood:
Despite Anders Carlson‘s missed kicks, Matt LaFleur maintains his trust in the rookie kicker for the Packers, saying, “We’re committed.” He adds, “One thing you can not coach is the resiliency he’s shown.” Each time he has failed to make one, he has returned and succeeded.
On Sunday, Carlson converted six of his seven attempts at extra points against the Cowboys.
