Fourth Time's The Charm For Mason Crosby, Whose 49-yard OT Kick Beats Bengals 

Bengals wellbeing Vonn Bell hits Packers running back A.J. Dillon, who scores on a 12-yard screen pass in the second quarter Sunday evening in Cincinnati. 

Packers wide beneficiary Davante Adams had 11 gatherings on 16 focuses for 206 yards against the Bengals.

Yet, presently, the Packers were confronting a fourth-and-1 at the Cincinnati 32-yard line. Furthermore, on account of a replay stall survey of Randall Cobb's 15-yard gathering to figure out where the ball ought to be stamped, and the circumstance of the 2-minute admonition of extra time, there was a lot of time for exchange in the Packers' seat region. 

Rearward, mentor Matt LaFleur had walked over to Crosby in the warm-up region, where LaFleur was looking at his kicker without flinching, inquiring as to whether he was up for another attempt. Close by, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was chatting with unique groups organizer Maurice Drayton, pondering exactly the same thing about his long-term partner and companion. 

"I approached the sideline, and I was searching for Mo since that was an important choice: Do we pull out all the stops (on fourth down), with Mase having missed a couple of kicks," Rodgers related. "What's more, I said, 'Mo, is he going to make it?' And he said, 'Heck, definitely, he will make it.' (I said as much, 'we should kick it then, at that point.' He was sure, I was certain."
