GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – Packers coach Mike McCarthy believes his next team will be more talented coming into training camp because of the return of so many injured players. That doesn’t mean Green Bay’s title defense will be any easier.
McCarthy says Wednesday the organization must learn to deal with success after the franchise’s 13th NFL championship and fourth Super Bowl with a 31-25 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.
New England last repeated as champions six years ago, and no team from the NFC has even made two consecutive Super Bowls since the Packers did it in 1997 and 1998.
McCarthy’s life is already changing.
A street will be named after him somewhere near Lambeau Field and both he and general manager Ted Thompson are in line for contract extensions before their current deals end in 2012.
