GREEN BAY- Packers head coach Mike McCarthy says he's moving past the controversial call in Seattle that cost his team a win over the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Coach McCarthy said at a press conference on Tuesday that bad calls are simply part of the game.

"It's something that every season brings on," said McCarthy.  "Prior to the season we spoke on the different challenges, and different paths that every season brings to you -- and this is another challenge."

And he calls it a challenge he's looking forward to overcoming.

"We're in tune with staying true to the integrity of the Green Bay Packers, and how we conduct ourselves," said McCarthy.  "I look at this as an opportunity for us to put another feather in our cap."

McCarthy says that his focus now is on Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Newsradio 620 WTMJ's coverage of that game starts at 1 p.m., kickoff is set for 3:15 p.m.
