What happens if you miss a FG and it's 1st/2nd/3rd/4th down?

So the Packers won on a FG in OT this Sunday; the end of the 4th quarter to tie the game and GB's OT possession was nuts!

So the game winning FG in OT got me . The FG was made on the 2nd down.

What if Crosby would have missed? Is he able to kick it in 3rd down and 4th down if needed? Or is it a turnover?

If a kick is missed on any down it results in a turnover to the other team from the spot of the kick (like any FG)

Sometimes teams will attempt a FG on 3rd down in case something goes wrong. If the holder drops the snap, for example, he can fall on it or throw the ball away or something and they have another down to attempt a FG.

So as long as the kicker hasn’t technically kicked it, they can try another FG attempt if it’s 2nd down?

I'm not sure. Probably in most instances it's treated like a normal down if the ball isn't kicked. So the kicker or holder could run, try to pass, etc. They would then have another down to kick.
