The Green Bay Packers got the W against the Cincinnati Bengals and at the end of the day, that's really all that matters. But while all wins count the same, some offer much more intrigue than others.

That's exactly how it went for the Packers in Week 5 as they endured a roller coaster ride – particularly thanks to kicker Mason Crosby. The veteran kicker missed three field goals on the day, including two potentially game-winning attempts, before finally making a 49-yard field goal to win it in overtime.

The age-old adage that “you're only as good as your last kick” was as true as ever for the Packers. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke out on the roller coaster they were tall enough to ride on Sunday.

“I'm proud of Mason [Crosby]. He's made so many big kicks for us over the years,” said Rodgers. “Not his best day, but to make a 50 yarder to win it, in a game where it didn't seem like anybody wanted to win it there in the 4th quarter and overtime. It feels good to be 4-1.”
