best happen
He's the best linebacker in the league. He's making it happen all day, every day.
bay biggest division green magnitude winning
I don't think I really need to say the magnitude of winning in Green Bay and clinching our division in Green Bay. This is the Packers, our biggest rival.
ball came duck far fell legal tight tried
I came in tight and he tried to duck underneath, and I came right up under his chest. He fell back, and the ball came loose. As far as I'm concerned, it was a legal hit.
caught easier
I caught it, ran, scored, got some high-fives. It was easier than I thought.
drive mistakes offense simple
The offense put us up, and we let them drive down the field. It was just simple mistakes. We'll get better.
chance dwell great meant moment ruin talking
It's a great moment we're having here, and you are going to ruin it by talking about that? The chance to do that meant a lot to us. But we won, so I can't dwell on it. It's just a number, and we can't make any more of it than that.
fired
Everybody's fired up about what we can do.
production
It's always production over technique, but if you're going to come out of your technique, make the play. If you don't make the play, it's all on you.
anywhere bears benchmark close defense good means people
It means a lot because the benchmark is the '85 Bears and their defense, and if we come anywhere close to where they were at least people can say we had a good defense that year.
mix putting together
I think we're in the mix of putting something together incredible.
incredible midst putting
I think we're in the midst of putting something incredible together.
If we were to have to play in the first round, it would be just fine. I don't look at it that way. I just look at the bye as earned.
coming guys head missed mistakes plays putting reason run seeing tend whatever wrap
Missed tackles are just mistakes for whatever reason -- putting my head down and not seeing what I'm doing, coming off my feet, whatever. I tend to not wrap sometimes, and I still get away with getting tackles. Some guys you don't wrap, and they're going to run through tackles. You just have to make plays when they're there.
ball
This year, it's just working more on if it makes sense. So this year, if I see it, I'm like, 'Look, Coach, the ball is right there, can I just go get it?' He'll say go get it.
