Overview

- McPherson’s first kick struck the crossbar and went through, but officials had granted Matt LaFleur’s timeout before the snap, making the play dead under NFL rules.
- On the retry, McPherson’s kick fell well short and Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon returned the live ball to close the half.
- The longest successful field goal remains Justin Tucker’s 66-yarder from 2021, with recent 65-yard makes by Chase McLaughlin and Brandon Aubrey reflecting the surge in long-range attempts.
- The recorded attempt counted as McPherson’s first miss of 2025; he had drilled a 64-yarder in warmups and later converted a 45-yard field goal, according to game reports.
