Mason Crosby has Mike McCarthy's backing

By , Reporter
Mason Crosby is not in danger of losing his place on the Green Bay Packers team, despite missing 12 of 29 field goal attempts in 2012.

Mason Crosby has the support of Mike McCarthy, despite missing almost half of his field goal attempts this season.

The Green Bay Packers kicker has missed 12 of 29 kicks this year, but McCarthy insists that he will not be replacing him.

The Packers head coach told reporters: "We're not changing our kicker, so you can write that down right now. He's our guy. He needs to make those kicks. He knows that. We're at that time of year.

"I'm not going to sit here and act like everybody is not watching how the situation is being handled. No-one is happy with the number of kicks Mason has missed."

Crosby missed two field goal attempts against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but Green Bay still sealed the win.
