But Pogues Mahone held the lead the rest of the way, powered by Aaron Rodgers (243 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 24 Rush Yds) and James White (79 Rush Yds, 98 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs).

Coach Talk

Pogues Mahone
Just one field goal on four attempts? It's quite possible that Adam Vinatieri just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
My Team
Unless My Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) collectively saw a healthy 34 targets in Week 13. With just 17 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
