GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As the euphoria of the Hail Mary victory over the Detroit Lions permeated through the Green Bay Packers' locker room late Thursday night, coach Mike McCarthy offered a dose of reality.
“Well, unfortunately, it [only] counts as one win,” he said. “It feels like more, and I think we all feel that way. I know I do.”
At this point, four days removed from what McCarthy called “our greatest regular-season win,” his task now is turn it into a momentum builder rather than a one-off moment of jubilation in otherwise underachieving season.
