The Packers’ week of change continues with preparations for the Falcons, but Mike McCarthy was given one final opportunity to address his old team. What he said left a lasting impression with the squad.
“It was emotional man, to be honest,” said Packers 2nd-year safety Josh Jones.
“He was received very well,” said running back Aaron Jones. “He has been here so long, all of love him and I just wanted to thank him for all he has done here in Green Bay and giving me the opportunity.
“We gave him a standing ovation,” said receiver Randall Cobb. “He gave his remarks. And we gave him another standing ovation on his way out.”
“He wanted an opportunity to speak to the team, and I was 100 percent fully supportive of it,” interim coach Joe Philbin said. “He did a fantastic job talking to the team. Not just about football and about winning football games, but about his passion for the game and his love for the players was clearly evident.”
The Packers host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in a noon start. Both teams have won just four games this season.
In Thursday Night Football, Tennessee won at home over Jacksonville, 30-9.
