GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers are going through arguably one of the most challenging periods of coach Mike McCarthys tenure.Theyve lost three straight games to fall under .500 . The defense has crumbled. Injuries are mounting on the line in the pass-heavy offense.McCarthy vowed Monday that mistakes will be addressed, and plans tweaked. He is confident that his message is getting through to players, and that the Packers, in part, must respond better to adversity.Overall, the Packers have been a success with a record of 116-67-1 in McCarthys 11 seasons. Theyve made the playoffs seven straight seasons, with five division titles and a Super Bowl victory in the 2010 campaign.But since winning the first six games of the 2015 season, Green Bay is 9-12, including the playoffs.McCarthy, in part, referred to his track record when asked what kind of messaging he uses to make sure that the uncharacteristic losing doesnt affect the Packers culture as they prepare for Sunday nights game at Washington.Well, I mean, lets just state the facts: Im a highly successful NFL head coach. With that, Ive never looked at the ride to this point as smooth ... To me, its always bumpy and to me thats the joy of it, McCarthy said.Really, what you did last year or 2010, as we know, doesnt factor. ... To me, you have to stay in tune with the now. Obviously, people outside of our room dont feel really good about the now. Personally, I enjoy these type of moments, he added. This is about our team and I trust and believe in what we do every day.He isnt into dramatic midseason shake-ups.Im not into shock and awe, or (a) torch the landscape-type person. Im a builder, Im a developer. Ive said that since the first day I arrived here, McCarthy said. You build a program, culture is what makes it go, you have to invest in that culture every single day, and thats my big picture focus.A popular pick to return to the Super Bowl, the Packers remain in the playoff picture, just a game back of Detroit and Minnesota in the mediocre NFC North.In the short term, the Packers are focusing on fixing flaws exposed in the 47-25 loss to Tennessee on Sunday that dropped them to 4-5 and was likely the low point of the season.The passing game is producing after a sluggish start, but the offense is missing physical running back Eddie Lacy, who is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The plan on Sunday was to run the ball more with James Starks back from a knee injury, but the Titans built up such a big early lead that Packers were forced to throw more.Playing catch-up all day, Aaron Rodgers was 31 of 51 for 371 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.McCarthy had no prognosis on injuries to starting offensive linemen David Bakhtiari (knee) and T.J. Lang (ankle). In the locker room, Bakhtiari said he was taking things day to day with the injury.I think everyone has got a lot of confidence in here. We know the guys we have in this locker room, and we know what were able to do. Its just going out and executing, he said.The league-best Packers run defense allowed DeMarco Murray to rush for a 75-yard touchdown on the Titans first play from scrimmage, setting the tone for the afternoon. Pass coverage has been spotty, especially without injured cornerbacks Sam Shields (concussion) and Damarious Randall (groin). The pass rush has slowed down with linebacker Clay Matthews out the last three weeks with a hamstring injury.Green Bay trailed Tennessee 21-0 by the end of the first quarter, the kind of start that the Packers were once known for.Our adversity football production is not high enough right now. We need to improve there. We know it, our players know it. Thats really where our focus is, McCarthy said. Thats the difference in this league.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Stan Smith Schuhe Billig . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Yeezy Boost 350 Günstig .

Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. MINNEAPOLIS -- This one was worth the wait for the Minnesota Twins.Joe Mauer raced home with the winning run when Max Keplers comebacker ricocheted off pitcher Joe Colons glove in the 11th inning to give the Twins a rain-delayed 5-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.If youre going to wait that long, its nice to get out there and get a win in, Mauer said after a game that was delayed by rain for 2 hours, 5 minutes.Colon (0-1) reached behind his back to try to glove the bouncer and knocked it down. His throw home beat Mauer, but catcher Yan Gomes couldnt handle it and was charged with an error on the play.Im thankful he knocked it down and it got away from him, otherwise they might have turned a double play on me, Kepler said.Brian Dozier drove in two runs for the Twins, and Trevor May (1-2) pitched the 11th to earn the win. The game was delayed with two outs in the top of the 11th inning. After the long delay, it took the Twins just 13 minutes to win.Carlos Santana had three hits to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 13 games and drove in two runs for the Indians.Cleveland committed three errors, including Santanas at first base in the seventh inning that allowed one run to score. Minnesota tied it on a single up the middle by Dozier.In his second career appearance, Colon walked Mauer, gave up a long double to Miguel Sano and then intentionally walked Dozier before Keplers comebacker ended a long night.It looked to me like Gomer didnt look it into the glove, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I didnt think we had a play at first, and instead of taking an out like a first baseman, just kind of short-armed it a little bit.Trevor Bauer gave up four runs -- three earned -- and seven hits with six strikeouts and three walks in six innings for Cleveland.Tyler Duffey allowed four runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings with three walks and two strikeouts for the Twins.SCARY MOMENTThe game stopped for several minutes in the seventh when a young boy sitting just to the right of the Indians dugout was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Mike Napoli.The ball caromed high in the air a full section over, annd ballpark personnel rushed to the boys side.dddddddddddd Napoli and the rest of the players on the field looked on with concern, but the boy appeared to be in decent shape as the man he was with carried him up the aisle and to the concourse.The boy grabbed his hat and put it back on his head and appeared to be alert and looking around as they exited the seating area.Its a scary thing and when I saw it was a little kid, I wasnt even thinking about baseball, Napoli said. I was just hoping he was all right. Hopefully I can find out his name and see if hes all right and maybe take care of him a little bit.SANOS DSanos double in the 11th moved Mauer into position to score and helped the third baseman atone for some trouble on defense.Sano made a couple of nifty plays with his arm, including a superb, barehanded pickup and strong throw to get Tyler Naquin in the second inning. But Sano also dropped an easy popup off the bat of Francisco Lindor in foul territory in the seventh inning for an error, then was charged with another one when he muffed a hot shot from Rajai Davis in the eighth.Sano has seven errors in his last eight games.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: After playing on Friday night in his rehab assignment, OF Michael Brantley was given the day off Saturday. Francona said Brantley wanted to play as he works his way back from a right shoulder injury, but the training staff didnt want to push it too early. He is expected to play again on Sunday. ... RHP Zach McAllister, on the DL since July 7 with right hip discomfort, will start a rehab assignment on Monday.Twins: CF Byron Buxton was in the lineup for a second straight day and manager Paul Molitor said the knee injury that occurred when Buxton crashed into the wall three games before the All-Star break is behind him now.UP NEXTTwins RHP Kyle Gibson (2-5, 5.02 ERA) will face Indians RHP Josh Tomlin (9-2, 3.51) in the series finale. Tomlin has not started since June 6 because of the All-Star break. He gave up eight runs in his last outing against the Tigers. ' ' '
