Kobe Bryant also passed Michael Jordan and moved into third place on the NBAs all-time list for most career field goal attempts. - ESPN Stats and Info 2) Aaron Rodgers, with 25 touchdowns and only three interceptions, is putting up MVP numbers, leading the league in yards per attempt (8.7) and TD-to-INT ratio (8.3-1) and Total QBR (85.5). Much of Rodgers’ success this season can be attributed to his top two wide receivers, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. Both receivers rank in the top five in touchdown receptions this season. Just over half of Rodgers’ total passes this season have been to Nelson and Cobb. Despite the high usage (nearly 16 attempts per game), Rodgers has completed 70.2 percent of his passes to the duo. Interestingly enough, that’s Rodgers’ worst completion percentage to the two since Cobb was drafted in 2011. 3) @NYRangers shut out Penguins 5-0 tonight ... 1st time theyve scored at least 5 goals in shutout of Penguins since doing so in 1973! - ESPN Stats and Info 4) LeBron James and Kyrie Irving each scored 32 points in Clevelands win over New Orleans on Monday, after they each topped 30 points in the Cavaliers loss to the Jazz last Wednesday.
