GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Brandon McManus insisted he hadn't planned to do a “Lambeau leap” if he made a winning field goal in his Green Bay Packers debut.
But when he kicked a 45-yard field goal as time expired to give Green Bay a 24-22 victory over Houston on Sunday, McManus couldn't help himself.
He jumped into the corner of the end-zone stands to celebrate with the Lambeau Field crowd.
“I figured it’d be cool to do that," McManus said. “I definitely need to work on my hops. I don’t practice jumping that much anymore.”
