For years, the Green Bay Packers have struggled to find consistency on special teams.
That has been one of the team’s shortcomings, although, for the most part, their kicker situation has been solid.
In Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals, newcomer Lucas Havrisik made the longest field goal in Packers history.
“The Packers signed K Lucas Havrisik last week … he was actually prepared to be a substitute teacher before Green Bay called. And he just kicked a franchise record 61-yard FG,” Ari Meirov wrote on X.

Unfortunately, that might not be enough to keep him around.
The Packers have a proven veteran in Brandon McManus, and he could resume his duties once he works his way back from injury.
That doesn’t mean Havrisik’s days in the NFL are numbered.
If anything, the Packers may now have a prime asset on their hands.
There’s always a market for kickers, and Havrisik has proven to have the range and the poise to do the job.
The Packers pulled off a big win on the road, but the game wasn’t expected to be as close as it was.
They were better than a touchdown favorite, yet they needed a late-game touchdown by Josh Jacobs and a sack by Micah Parsons to seal the win.
As usual, Green Bay’s play-calling was too conservative, and it resulted in field goals in the first half.
The Packers return to the road to square off with Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, and whoever gets the nod at kicker will have to be on point.
