GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers has a few words of advice for those who are concerned about the Green Bay Packers struggling offense early in the season.Were not going to overreact. Its been two weeks, Rodgers said after the Packers lost 17-14 to the rival Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday night.Still, the Packers are faced with trying to remedy an offense that has been out of sorts in their first two games.After overcoming communication snafus to eke out a close win on the road against Jacksonville to start the season, Green Bay fell short against the Vikings because of sloppy play that included four fumbles and two late turnovers by Rodgers.Whatever term you want to use to describe it, it wasnt good enough last night, coach Mike McCarthy said Monday.The Packers gained just 263 yards, as Rodgers was sacked five times and couldnt connect with his receivers on a number of throws.We just didnt really have anything going for us, veteran guard T.J. Lang said.Despite the abundance of miscues against a Vikings team that played their first regular-season game at noisy U.S. Bank Stadium, the Packers had chances to even the score or go ahead toward the end.But after Green Bay retained possession on its first three fumbles of the game, a strip-sack by Brian Robison in Vikings territory resulted in Minnesotas first of two key takeaways in the fourth quarter.Rodgers pass to Davante Adams on third-and-long was picked off by Trae Waynes past midfield with less than two minutes left, preserving Minnesotas three-point lead.Adams, who had a fumble on Green Bays first play of the game, felt the offense hurt itself by not finding its rhythm until those late drives that ended with the costly giveaways.Weve got to find a way to make the plays that are there, not try to do too much, Lang said. Everybody just take ownership of what they have to do, do their job and find a way to execute.The Packers also failed to convert a fourth-and-2 run play inside the Vikings 20-yard line earlier in the second half.Rodgers completed only 20 of 36 for 213 yards Sunday.And he acknowledged afterward that its taking some time to get the offense settled after the return of trusted deep threat Jordy Nelson and the offseason addition of veteran tight end Jared Cook.Nelson missed the 2015 season because of a knee injury and didnt play in the preseason last month, while Cook missed time early in training camp after undergoing foot surgery.I dont think were that far off, Rodgers said. Its getting (Nelson) back in the mix and Jared Cook back in the mix. Theres some moving pieces right now.Rodgers hopes the Packers home opener Sunday against the Detroit Lions, another division rival, is the start of getting the offense back in sync.I dont think this is anything to get super crazy about, Rodgers said.And McCarthy said the improvements that are needed on offense started right away Monday, when the players came back to work for video review of the game.Mindset is important, so were going to stay on the balls of our feet and punch like hell, McCarthy said.Along with that, McCarthy wants to get what he called his excellent 1-2 punch of Eddie Lacy and James Starks at running back more involved after they combined for just 19 carries for 53 yards Sunday.Our perimeter players, we need to get them more opportunities, too, McCarthy said.Game notesMcCarthy had no update on DT Letroy Guion (knee) and S Morgan Burnett (hamstring). Both starters suffered injuries in Sundays game and didnt return. LB Clay Matthews, who went off the field near the end of the game, also was being evaluated. Hes got some things were looking at there, said McCarthy, who added theres no initial concern about Matthews status. ...

The top-ranked Irish can win ugly.The Irish struggled at times on offense, but Arike Ogunbowale scored 13 points to help them beat a pesky Fordham squad, 67-36 in a preseason WNIT quarterfinal game.Ogunbowale, who earned ACC player of the week honors earlier in the day, had a steal and layup to put the Irish up by 20 points early in the fourth quarter, just four minutes after Fordham had cut the lead to eight.Its a great thing to learn about this team, that we can win ugly, McGraw said. We missed a lot of shots and we were frustrated early, but we kept our composure.After shooting over 52 percent in a 60-point win over Central Michigan to open the season, Notre Dame shot 42 percent against Fordham, including making just one of eight 3-pointers.The offense the other night, we couldnt miss, McGraw said. Tonight, we couldnt make a shot, but we kept working on defense and never let it get to us.The Rams werent any better, shooting just 23 percent, including 2 of 19 from 3.Lindsay Allen finished with 13 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Irish (2-0).Gmrice Davis led Fordham (1-1) with nine points and 15 rebounds.PLAYER OF THE GAMEThe Irish hit just one of their first 12 shots to open the second half after ending the first half by going scoreless for nearly three minutes before Allens leaner in the paint gave them a 14-point halftime advantage.Anna Kellys jumper from the left corner with three minutes left in the third quarter cut Notre Dames lead to 36-28, but the Irish got a spark from an unlikely source. Reserve center Kristina Nelson scored the next six points while grabbing a pair of offensive rebounds.I thought Kristina Nelson was player of the game, she made some huge plays for us, McGraw said.dddddddddddd.Notre Dame loosened up from there and turned it into a rout in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Rams 20-4 in the final 10 minutes.When (Nelson) made that mini run and got those hustle plays, that revved us up a little bit, Allen said. It gave us that energy that we needed.SURPRISE VISITORFormer Notre Dame mens coach Digger Phelps stopped by the Fordham shoot around at Purcell Pavilion earlier in the day and stayed long enough to give the undersized Rams some inspiration.He just walked in out of nowhere and made a great speech to the kids, said Fordham coach Stephanie Gaitley. He talked to them about one of his teams that was small and had injuries, and they left it all out there. As you can see, we go four guards out, but I was really proud of our effort, I thought we gave a great defensive effort. Their size and talent just over-powered us at the end.BIG PICTUREFordham: Gaitley remains stuck at 99 wins in her sixth year at Fordham, which is making its first appearance in the preseason WNIT.
