Packers defensive coordinator Barry realizes he's under pressure as season heads into home stretch

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry understands just what’s at stake for him during these last few games as he deals with speculation about his job security.

The Packers (6-8) are coming off a 34-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which they allowed Baker Mayfield to have a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur was asked after the game about whether he’d consider removing Barry before the end of the season.

LaFleur said Monday he was keeping Barry in place, but that hasn’t quieted the criticism that has dominated Wisconsin sports talk radio this week as the Packers prepare to visit Carolina (2-12).
