It was a Christmas delight for Aaron Rodgers and co. as Green Bay Packers edged out Miami Dolphins and pulled an upset victory. The Phins led the Packers by 7 points during halftime and looked on course for a step in playoffs. However, an upset by the Packers meant Tyreek Hill and his VIP guest who attended the match left home disappointed.

Ahead of his rookie season in F1, Logan Sargeant was in the holiday spirits to support his boyhood club Miami Dolphins. The Williams driver, who will become the first American to drive an F1 car since Alexander Rossi in 2015, was also felicitated by the home team ahead of the match.

Logan Sergeant’s NFL Christmas ended in heartbreak because of Aaron Rodgers

“Anything Miami,” said Logan Sargeant when asked about his favorite teams in an interview with Williams Racing. Boy, he wasn’t lying. The latest Wantage team’s latest recruit celebrated his Christmas by watching his childhood NFL club take on Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers. Logan would have been delighted in what was a thrilling contest between the two teams. However, his boyhood team fell short by 6 points as the Packers edged the Dolphins 26-20.

Aaron Rodgers rolled back the clock and put in an excellent shift to motivate his team to a surprise win over the Dolphins. He completed 24 of 38 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown but also threw an interception in the end zone.
