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 Isaiah Oliver Stitched Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.

Haas will introduce its final upgrade package of 2016 at the Singapore Grand Prix in a bid to overhaul Toro Rosso in the battle for seventh.After a strong start to its debut season Haas performances have dropped off, with its only points in the last ten races coming from Romain Grosjeans seventh place in Austria. The team showed renewed pace in Belgium and Italy, with team boss Guenther Steiner calling the latter a missed opportunity to score points.When asked if the pace at the last two races was a sign of progress, Steiner said: I think it was track-related. [Monza] and Spa we were pretty good, Spa was better. Also Hockenheim we were already a little bit ahead. We need to see if we can continue this trend in the next races.We have a small upgrade package for Singapore, which will carry on the whole season obviously, so that will be something to judge in Singapore. But Singapore is a bit of a gamble anyway so we want to see if we can get it to work properly and then be ready for the races afterwards. But we hope the trend continues.Speaking about Ferraris upgraded power unit, whicch Haas had at Monza, Steiner commented: Absolutely it was a step forward.dddddddddddd How much is difficult to say becase we dont have any direct comparson. But it was a step forward - without that we wouldnt have made it into Q3.By contrast, Toro Rosso -- 17 points ahead in the standings -- is equipped with a 2015 Ferrari power unit which has not been upgraded all season. The team has slipped down the pecking order as the season has continued and Steiner sees no reason Haas cannot keep closing the gap.We will try to catch up to Toro Rosso. You need to set your goals, if you just say we learn and set no real target it sounds a little bit too easy. Our target is to try and catch Toro Rosso.That would be a fantastic thing to do but its difficult, because if the top five teams dont have problems, to get in the top ten is difficult. Then even if you finish 10th it is only one point. I think we are 17 behind or something, but we will try our best to do it.
