National Football League teams, including the Green Bay Packers, are preparing for the scouting combine. On Tuesday, there was a media day where general managers and coaches answered questions. Brian Gutekunst, the Packers’ GM, spoke on Tuesday at 10 AM at Lucas Oil Stadium.
During a press conference, a media member asked Brian about his thoughts on the Detroit Lions winning the NFC North division this year. His response was quite amusing.
Green Bay Packers GM Brian Gutekunst Makes Comment About Detroit Lions
The reporter asked if the Packers were “chasing” the Lions at a division title, and Brian responded.
Brian Gutekunst was asked today about chasing the Lions: “Around here, we’ve never hung banners for division championships, so it’s never been about that. It’s a nice starting point, but I think we’re always looking for bigger things.”
I don’t think he was taking a shot, but… https://t.co/4wgCPmOKXI

Some fans found it amusing as they believed that he was criticizing the Lions’ organization.
It’s pathetic to hang divisional banners. Literally every team has achieved that. The Lions were the last team to actually win their division (NFCN)
