Randall Cobb’s Sunday includes a snow angel and a Lambeau Leap

Randall Cobb slid to a stop on the slick field in the end zone after a 9-yard touchdown pass before adding another move.

It was time for a little more fun in the snow.

The former University of Kentucky star caught one of two touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers, and the Green Bay Packers found their footing in the snow with two fourth-quarter scores to pull away from the Houston Texans for a 21-13 win on Sunday.

Before Cobb got up in the end zone after his TD, he did a snow angel.

“No, it was spur of the moment,” Cobb said of his child-like celebration. “I was sliding and I couldn’t get up as fast as I wanted to, so I was like, why not?”

Cobb finished with three catches for 19 yards. He also returned two punts for 44 yards.

Tandy is dandy

Former Christian County star Keith Tandy intercepted Philip Rivers in the end zone with 2:56 left to secure a 28-21 Tampa Bay Buccaneers victory over San Diego.

“I’ve been here for five years and this is the first time we’ve been playing meaningful football in December, so I can’t lie to you, it is a great feeling,” said Tandy, who also made five tackles.
