GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As the yards and points allowed add up at a huge rate, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy is staying the course.McCarthy reiterated Monday what he said after the Packers latest crushing loss the previous night: now is not the time to make any drastic changes, especially with a defense that is low on manpower and high on allowing big plays.Theres no reinventing the wheel, McCarthy asserted. Weve talked about this since the day I arrived here. We have a system of football -- offense, defense and special teams -- that accommodates any football player on our roster. If weve got to reinvent the wheel in Week 11 or Week 12, we havent set our plan the right way for the season.Theres not much time left for the Packers to get the season turned back in the right direction after host Washington pummeled them 42-24 on Sunday night.The Packers are in the throes of their first four-game losing streak since late in the 2008 season, the last time they didnt make the playoffs. At 4-6, they are two games behind NFC North front-runners Detroit and Minnesota.Most troubling for Green Bay is opponents have figured out the clear way to beat the Packers is to go deep against the porous back end of their defense.Kirk Cousins exploited a short-handed secondary that thinned out even more during the game by throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns. The Packers allowed 515 yards, a season high, and 40-plus points for the second straight week after giving up 47 in a 22-point loss at Tennessee.You cant win ballgames giving up that many points, no matter whos on offense, defensive back Micah Hyde lamented after Sundays game. Our offense can score a lot of points and move the ball, do what they do, but if we give up that many points, were not going to win any games. And weve seen that the last couple of weeks.The hemorrhaging with the defense has been going on for nearly a month. Green Bay has given up 30 or more points in each game during the skid, its longest such streak of allowing so many points in a game since 1953. The 153 points allowed are the most by the Packers in a four-game stretch since the 1951 team gave up 156 its final four weeks.The Green Bay defense has been responsible for all but seven of those points in the last four contests, during which the opposition has averaged more than 420 yards per game and thrown for nearly 1,250 yards and 12 touchdowns.To the chagrin of McCarthy, the Packers have forced only two turnovers in those games. Theyve had zero the last two weeks.The biggest hole in our football team is our turnover ratio, said McCarthy, whose club is minus-6 in turnover margin. Ive been talking about it all year. Were not taking care of the football, were not taking the football away. Until that changes, were going to be fighting uphill.Defensive coordinator Dom Capers simply said, No excuses, on Monday even as the injuries mounted for the defense.Already playing without top cornerbacks Sam Shields and Damarious Randall, the Packers lost replacement starter Demetri Goodson to what McCarthy termed a significant knee injury in the first half Sunday.Green Bay later had starting rookie linebacker Blake Martinez (knee) and contributing rookie safety Kentrell Brice (neck) leave the game as the Redskins pulled away in the second half with touchdown passes of 44 and 70 yards and a few other big plays.Thats when kind of all hell broke loose, Capers said.McCarthy said Randall is getting closer to returning to action, perhaps by next Monday night, when the Packers end their three-game road swing against the Philadelphia Eagles.I think what happened (Sunday) is very correctable, and weve got to go back to work and correct it because we know weve got to go to Philly and find a way to win a game, Capers said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Willie Roaf Womens Jersey .

Thomas Morstead Youth Jersey . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. NEW ORLEANS -- Ben Roethlisberger has played only two series this preseason, which might be all he needs.Roethlisberger torched New Orleans for 148 yards and two touchdown passes in his first action this preseason, then got the rest of the game off while the Steelers rolled to a 27-14 victory on Friday night.We were looking for some production and he gave us some production, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of Roethlisberger, who completed 12 of 17 passes. Thankfully he did it in a small number of (snaps), so we got him in and got him out.Roethlisberger, who sat out of the first two preseason games, opened by leading a 14-play, 76-yard drive on which he converted two third downs and found tight end Jesse James for a 5-yard score. His next series was highlighted by his 57-yard scoring pass down the left sideline to Antonio Brown, also playing for the first time this preseason.Pittsburgh running back LeVeon Bell also made his preseason debut, gaining 21 yards on three carries, but his lost fumble in the second quarter led to Drew Brees only TD pass. Brees strike went to Willie Snead, who made a difficult juggling catch as he landed on his back following a collision near the back of the end zone.Brees had a difficult night behind a struggling offensive line. It didnt help that starting left tackle Terron Armstead left unexpectedly in the first half. Brees completed 9 of 12 passes, but for only 78 yards. One of his better throws connected with newly acquired tight end Coby Fleener for 26 yards, but it was called back for holding on Armstead.Execution -- actually blocking people -- seemed to be the problem, Saints right tackle Zach Strief said. I know this -- I dont know that I ever felt as responsible for our team doing poorly as I think we do as a group right now. Thats tough and yet we deserve it and it will be on us to change it. Nobody else.The Saints have dropped all three preseason games.Steelers backup Landry Jones went 19 of 22 for 206 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown pass to Sammie Coates. He also completed a 58-yard pass to Coates to set up Chris Boswells 40-yard field goal.ROOKIE WATCHSteelers: Second-round pick Sean Davis started his third straight game as the slot cornerback.

Veteran linebacker Arthur Moats started in place of Bud Dupree, who is working his way back from a groin injury.Saints: Andurs Peat, New Orleans top 2015 pick, started at right guard and did not play any snaps at tackle, as he had in the previous two games. Senio Kelemete started at left guard ahead of Tim Lelito, who later came in for Peat and Kelemete switched to the right side. The Saints did not have any field goal opportunities for Kai Forbath or Connor Barth.INJURY UPDATESteelers: RT Marcus Gilbert (right elbow), DE Cam Heyward (right ankle), S Jacob Hagen (right leg), S Shamarko Thomas (right groin).Saints: Armstead left for undisclosed reasons.
