“The team message today was all about the Minnesota Vikings. It’s a football game that clearly got away from us,” McCarthy said of the 38-8 loss to the Cardinals. “The obvious was the turnover ratio and the points off turnovers. We had a long, bumpy flight home. I wanted to get the team focused on the Vikings.”
Green Bay achieved a nearly 50-50, run-pass balance against the Cardinals, which McCarthy said was his team’s game plan, but the Packers gained only 178 total net yards, of which only 77 were passing yards. Those numbers left the Packers offense at No.
