In a family first, Anders and Daniel Carlson will face each other in the same game on Monday night.
Best and worst of NFL Week 5: 49ers rout Cowboys, more trouble for Pats and Giants, Burrow back on trackAnders Carlson, left, with brother Daniel and their parents, Hans and Jodie, when Anders was a redshirt freshman and Daniel a senior at Auburn. Rob Demovsky is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the Green Bay Packers. He has covered the Packers since 1997 and joined ESPN in 2013. Demovsky is a two-time Wisconsin Sportswriter of the Year as selected by the NSSA.
After a rough start to his NFL career with the Vikings, Daniel Carlson settled in with the Raiders and has converted 88.6% of his career field goal attempts. In fact, it will be the first time the entire Carlson crew -- including oldest son, Nils, who is flying in from Sweden -- will be in the same place at the same time since Anders’ wedding in June 2022.
“Well, Week 5’s easy,” Anders joked, referring to Monday night’s game. “There’s only one spot to go to.” Of all the commonalities between Anders and Daniel, current Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia might be the most important one. Most bios of Bisaccia don’t even include his stop at Auburn. But he spent a month there early in 2013 between NFL jobs with the. In that brief time, he recruited Daniel. The two would be reunited in 2018 with the Raiders, where Bisaccia ran the special teams.
