Franchise record in rookie punter's sights

GREEN BAY – It’s not first and foremost on his mind, not with single-digit temperatures potentially awaiting him on Saturday night at Lambeau Field, but rookie punter Justin Vogel is aware of it.

The single-season franchise record for net punting average, a statistic that has been kept since 1976, is his for the taking over the final two games of 2017.

His 42.6-yard net average is well above the record 40.3 recorded by Tim Masthay in 2015, and after the frigid game Saturday, the Miami alum’s finale will be indoors in Detroit, so his odds look pretty good.
