Brian Gutekunst responds to a crisis of his own making (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After watching the Green Bay Packers suffer a humbling 35-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, general manager Brian Gutekunst understood that his team could not go on as presently constituted.

That game concluded a campaign in which Mike McCarthy, who oversaw 135 total wins and brought the Lombardi Trophy back to Title Town, became the franchise’s first head coach fired before season’s end. It also saw quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffer a concussion in the second quarter, tying a bow on one of the worst years for Green Bay in a quarter of a century.To find the Pack
