GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers coach Mike McCarthy left no doubt about where the team’s no-time-left win in Detroit stands for him.
“Outside of the Super Bowl (title in the 2010 season), to me, that’s our greatest regular-season win,” said McCarthy, who’s in his 10th year as Green Bay’s coach.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I sat up and watched it a few times on TV,” he added Friday, less than 24 hours after the stunning victory. “It was a phenomenal play.”
The media quickly dubbed it the “Motor City Miracle” and “Miracle in Motown” and other names.
