The remarks come in Monday's news conference following the Packers one point loss to the Falcons in Atlanta. McCarthy was also asked about the injuries that have impacted the offensive and defensive backfield this season.
McC on mentality of being shorthanded but still 4-3: "It's where we are. It's a combination of injuries and youth." #Packers
