Although the name of this post is NFL week 13 I will also briefly touch upon some other news. Only one NHL game last night as the Red Wings defeated the Canucks 5-3. Both teams now have 33 points standings wise. In the NBA the Lakers upset the Raptors in OT 129-122. Kobe Bryant made history in this game becoming the first player in NBA history with at least 6,000 assists and 30,000 points. This could be shocking to some because many say Kobe never passes. The Nebraska football team fired coach Bo Pelini. This was rather surprising because they had at least nine wins in all seven seasons under Pelini.
Now, onto the NFL. In the biggest game of the weekend Aaron Rodgers and the Packers took down Brady and the Pats. With the Pack up 16-14 with under a minute remaining in the half Rodgers threw a 45 yard TD pass to Jordy Nelson to extend the lead to nine points at half. Down five in the fourth the packs were forced to a field goal try, which was missed giving the ball to Green Bay. The Pats D was not able to slow down Rodgers and running back Eddie Lacy and the Packers went on to win 26-21. Both teams are now 9-3.
Phillip Rivers lead the Chargers on a late TD drive to beat the Ravens 34-33. The Rams demolished the Raiders, winning 52-0. This was behind a 117 yard performance by Tre Mason and the Ram's defense who forced five turnovers. The Falcons upset the Cardinals 29-18 and during the late game the Broncos handled the Chiefs, 29-16.
During the Browns 26-10 loss to the Bills Johnny Manziel made his first NFL appearance. He lead an 80 yard TD drive in the fourth capped off by his 10 yard TD run. It is still unknown if he will start or not.
Larger post coming later today.
