NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Missed tackles with defenders little more than obstacles to bounce off on the way to more yards.A kicker missing both an extra point wide left and pushing an onside kick out of bounds.Lots and lots of penalty flags.Aaron Rodgers, the two-time NFL MVP, wasnt immune either, missing reads and overthrowing receivers with one pass going straight to a defender.The Green Bay Packers have lots of issues after a 47-25 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday put them below .500 for the first time this late in a season since 2013.Packers coach Mike McCarthy said they couldnt overcome falling behind 21-0 and by as much as 35-10 late in the first half before falling to 4-5.We understand how poorly we performed today, McCarthy said. As a team, were disappointed. We have higher standards than that. We have higher expectations of one another, so thats what well tap into and grab onto.That 25-point deficit was Green Bays largest in the first half of a game started by Rodgers. Now theyve lost three straight and four of their past five. The previous time the Packers were below .500 this late in a season at 5-6-1 in 2013, but finished 8-7-1 to win the NFC North in 2013.We just didnt execute as well as we wanted to on offense and obviously in the other two phases as well, Rodgers said.Minnesota lost again. Were a game back. Were kind of right where we were last week. Obviously, love to be standing here after a win, but right now weve got to work on ourselves and get this thing turned around.A franchise that has reached the postseason each of the past seven seasons has to fix some things first with two more games left on the Packers first three-game road trip since 2012.The Packers recovered Tennessees onside kick to open the game and had the ball at the Titans 49 in perfect position to score. They went three-and-out with Rodgers missing Randall Cobb on a short throw on third down.It took a little bit to get going, Rodgers said.Then right guard T.J. Lang hurt an ankle on the first play of the second series and was replaced by Dan Barclay. By the end of the first quarter, the Packers had just 26 yards. Rodgers had completed only two passes.But the penalties already started piling up. The Packers finished with 12 for 107 yards.We had too much fight today, McCarthy said.The Packers added a touchdown to pull within 35-16 at halftime after they already had posted the largest deficit since trailing by 21 in the first half against the New York Giants in 2012.Rodgers threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns, and he also ran for another. Rodgers remains the only person to run for a TD this season for the Packers.McCarthy couldnt list all the injuries after the game, which grew when left tackle David Bakhtiari hurt a knee and was replaced by rookie Jason Spriggs in the fourth quarter. That forced lots of rotations as the Packers gave up five sacks.Its hard emotionally, center Corey Linsley said. Its difficult to right the ship anyway, but hard emotionally is what I am referring to. I think we have a level of trust in our locker room with a bunch of great guys that work hard. Im confident that we will get that back.The next stop on this road swing is a trip to Washington, and McCarthy said the Packers have been in tough spots before.Everything we want to accomplish big picture-wise is still in front of us, McCarthy said. But the reality is we need to get a little healthier and we have to prepare and play better and we have to win the next game.---Corrects to show Packers last below .500 this late in season in 2013, not 2008.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half.

Scotland head coach Vern Cotter has named Tommy Seymour on the left wing in one of four changes to the Scottish team that will start against Argentina at Murrayfield on Saturday.Cotter hands a debut to back-row Magnus Bradbury, whose inclusion on the blindside flank sees John Barclay move to no. 8, with Hamish Watson returning to the openside and Ryan Wilson selected on the bench.Edinburgh Rugby lock Grant Gilchrist, who captained Scotland to victory over the Pumas in Cordoba two years ago, and Glasgow Warriors hooker Fraser Brown are promoted from the bench.The return of wing Tommy Seymour is the only change to the back division, meaning two-time try-scorer Huw Jones and centre partner Alex Dunbar, half-backs Greig Laidlaw and Finn Russell, and Stuart Hogg and Sean Maitland are reinstated.Every week we want to improve, said Cotter. We did a lot of good things against Australia: we scored three tries to their two, we were aggressive in attack and our defence held strong for the most part.While its disappointing we didnt walk off with the win, Im proud of the ccourage the players showed and the way they adapted to changes on the paddock due to injuries.ddddddddddddSaturdays game is going to be a different challenge for us, both physically and mentally, against a very dangerous Argentina side.They have the capacity to vary their game so we have to be prepared for whatever approach they take, though we can expect them to look to dominate the set piece as a starting point, be very explosive around the rucks and look to get their offloading game up and running.We will have to be disciplined and make sure we capitalise on every opportunity we create.Scotland team to play JapanStuart Hogg, Sean Maitland, Huw Jones, Alex Dunbar, Tommy Seymour, Finn Russell, Greig Laidlaw; Allan Dell, Fraser Brown, Zander Ferguson, Grant Gilchrist, Jonny Gray, Magnus Bradbury, Hamish Watson, John Barclay.Replacements: Ross Ford, Alex Allan, Moray Low, Tim Swinson, Ryan Wilson, Ali Price, Pete Horne, Tim Visser.
