Brian Urlacher Ball Quotations

Rivera turned us loose today, ... He called a bunch of blitzes -- they worked. We got a bunch of pressure, and when he did get rid of the ball we tackled the guys. We flew around and had a good time.

That was unbelievable. It was awesome. I've never been a part of something like that. The game's usually over unless you get some great plays like we did, but the ball was bouncing our way that year.

We did what we said we were going to do, ... We got in his (Harrington's) face, and we got some pressure on him and got him to throw the ball sometimes when he didn't want to. And we got some takeaways -- what we've got to do every week.

We play hard, we take the ball away and the No. 1 thing is we get to the quarterback and we get to the ball. When the ball is on the ground, we usually have a lot of guys around it.

We think it's possible. We get a lot of takeaways. The ball seems like it's bounced in our direction right now. We've got to get those balls. We haven't created a lot of fumbles so far. We've got to get the ball on the ground and try to get in the end zone that way.

It would be nice to give us a chance to get the ball rolling and get a little confidence.

It's a little different trying to run the ball with eight guys in the box. The Vikings haven't had to face that because of the Randy Moss factor.

Takeaways, stopping the run, and as long as we don't turn the ball over, I think we'll be OK. If we don't give them a chance to score with their defense on the field, we'll be OK.

I don't want to go through that again. We got beat up in that game. We couldn't stop the run, we couldn't run the ball, and we turned the ball over. I don't want to remember that game, it ended so badly. We weren't the same for a long time after that. We learned that we've got to play a lot better to win playoff games.
