Packers Play Short

Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said there were two plays Monday night in which the Packers had only 10 defensive players on the field. Both plays came early in the second quarter when the Eagles were running their no-huddle offense, according to the Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers.

The Eagles were successful on the plays, with quarterback Donovan McNabb completing a 17-yard pass and a 21-yard pass to tight end L.J. Smith.

"We had two instances in the game when that happened," McCarthy said. "It's problems with the no-huddle. They're switching personnel groups."

McCarthy said the blame could be shared by everyone.

"It's all of our faults," McCarthy said. "It's game management is which it comes under. We had two in the game, which is not what we're looking for, obviously, and we need to get that fixed."
