Cincinnati (AP) —Mason Cassady overtime scored a 49-yard field goal after missing three consecutive attempts, causing the Green Bay Packers to beat Cincinnati Bengals 25-22 on Sunday.
A typically credible Crosby missed a potential winner with a regulation of 2:12 and 3 seconds remaining, and missed another attempt in overtime before the final win. Since the start of the 2019 season, he has been 44 out of 46 in field goal attempts.
Crosby, who missed additional points early in the game and achieved three field goals, converted all six field goal attempts and 11 PATs this year.
Bengals’ Evan McPherson also missed a possible shot to win the match. There was 26 seconds of regulation left and overtime again.
Bengals (3-2) scored in the second half of the fourth period. Ja’Marr Chase made a great catch in 3rd and 6th at Packers 36-19 yards, and after two plays Joe Mixon bounced to the right with an 8-yard touchdown run. Barrow hit Tea Higgins behind the end zone and achieved a two-point conversion with 3:27 remaining.
Crosby was set up for a 36-yard shot, leaving 2:12, but pulled it to the left. The Bengals ran towards Packers 47, but McPherson’s field goal attempt bounced back to the right side up with 26 seconds remaining. Then it was Crosby’s turn to make another mistake. His 51-yard attempt, set by a 20-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams, was once again pulled heavily to the left.
During overtime, Barrow was intercepted by linebacker Debondle Campbell, but Crosby missed a third straight and turned sharply to the left again.
McPherson had another chance with a 49-yard player to celebrate with holder Kevin Huber before the wind pulled just to the left of the upright flag.
Rogers threw two touchdown passes to rank fifth in history. Adams caught 11 times at 206 yards, the best of his career.
Rogers threw a 12-yard TD pass to AJ Dillon in the first quarter, always tying in fifth place with Philip Rivers. His five-yard scoring toss to Adams in the second quarter put him in front of the Rivers. He finished a passcut of 344 yards 27-39 after winning four straight games since Packers (4-1) lost the opener to New Orleans.
Bengals has won two touchdown passes from Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow was also beaten by the Green Bay defense, 38 to 25 at 260 yards. He threw a scoring pass to Samageperin and Ja’Marr Chase.
Crosby’s 44-yard field goal and a hookup from Rogers to Adams seemed to take the packers a 16-7 lead in half. The Bengals won the ball with 1:07 left, and in the second play, scrambled Barrow lofted a long pass in the direction of Streak Chase. Safety Darnell Savage was in a position to knock it, but he whistled and Chase adopted it for a 70-yard touchdown.
