Packers coach sticks with Crosby

Posted November 17, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mason Crosby
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers,  Detroit Lions
3c
The Green Bay Packers are sticking with struggling kicker Mason Crosby. Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters after the Packers' 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday that the team won't ''blink'' in its commitment to Crosby. Crosby has missed seven of the 18 field goals he's attempted so far this season. His 61 percent accuracy rate is second-to-last in the NFL. He missed a 50-yarder and a 38-yarder against the Lions. He did connect on a 39-yarder with seconds left to give the Packers a four-point cushion. Crosby says he believes he has to correct his mechanics. He says he doesn't think he's dealing with any type of a mental block.

Ahhhs and boos. Those are the two distinct and opposite reactions the home crowd rains down on the same missed opportunity. Popular Green Bay Packers named Jennings, Jordy and James hear the former.

Packers block Lions from division title race

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  November 18, 2012
It was a win the Packers needed for many reasons, and they got it. Now at 7-3 with a 2-0 record in the division, Green Bay -- with four more games remaining against the NFC North -- controls its own playoff future throughout the rest of the season. It also sends Detroit (4-6) into a nearly impossible situation of making the postseason, therefore turning it into a three-team race...
