He said, "The snap, the hold, the protection all seemed great. It was one of those I hit it well. It was unfortunate it moved right and didn't come back."
Our View:That was Crosby's fourth miss of the season on 20 field goal attempts, but he has still been a solid fantasy option with 75 points scored.

Our View:Crosby said his offseason work included running a lot of sprints, as well as hurdle drills and box jumping. He focused not just on strengthening his legs, but also his core, and improving his flexibility.
