A missed extra kick is the moment this 1936 photograph captures, and the Green Bay Packers are the team named in its record. The subject headings place the game in New York State, while the gallery files the picture under Boston, so it may show a visiting matchup rather than a home game. Before 1950, the point after touchdown was a placekick taken from a short distance, and a miss could decide a close professional game. Pictures of the Packers from this decade offer a view of a team that was among the stronger franchises in the early NFL.
