Green Bay GM Gutekunst says Packers must 'ramp up our sense of urgency' after early playoff exit

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst saw a team that improved throughout the season.

However, he also knows losing in the opening round of the playoffs isn’t good enough for a team with high expectations.

So although Gutekunst believes the organization is headed in the right direction, he also issued a challenge to a team that lost all six games it played this season against the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings — the NFC’s top-tier clubs.

“We need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency,” Gutekunst said during a season-ending news conference Thursday afternoon.
