The Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars are scoreless into the second quarter of their Week 8 matchup.

However, Jaguars punter Logan Cooke provided a highlight with a spectacular 73-yard kick on Jacksonville's first series of the game.

This couldn't have been a more perfect punt, hitting the turf at the 10-yard line and going out of bounds at the 2 to pin Green Bay back by nearly the entire field.

After taking over, the Packers couldn't do much, failing to get a first down and going three-and-out. Green Bay had to punt from its 7-yard line, giving Jacksonville the ball at the 50.

Cooke, in his seventh season with the Jaguars, is 12th in the NFL with an average punt of 49.8 yards. That is a career-high thus far and will surely improve after his booming punt versus the Packers.
