Packers Kicker Smack Faces Redemption vs. Cowboys
19 Oct
Summary
- Rookie kicker Trey Smack had a rough game against the Bears, missing key kicks.
- Smack's performance prior to the Bears game was nearly perfect.
- The Packers-Cowboys rivalry historically features crucial kicking moments.
Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack endured a challenging outing last week during the team's 31-7 victory over the Chicago Bears. Smack missed two field goals and an extra point, a stark contrast to his near-perfect performance in the season's opening four weeks. His current season statistics now stand at 7-of-10 on field goals and 9-of-11 on extra points, a notable dip from his earlier reliability.
Despite the setback, head coach Matt LaFleur has expressed confidence in Smack. The upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys presents an immediate opportunity for Smack to regain his footing. Historically, matchups between the Packers and Cowboys have often been decided by critical kicking plays. Last season's 40-40 tie serves as a recent example where both teams' kickers, Brandon McManus for the Packers and Brandon Aubrey for the Cowboys, made significant contributions.
