We played a lot of nickel in that game and they ran the ball very well against our nickel defense. That's what they do ? they get you out of what you're used to doing.

I played well. I ran to the ball and made a couple plays. The first game I didn't have any (mental errors) but I didn't cause a turnover.

The Vikings played the entire game in the '34' other than in nickel or dime. It was well done. They caught Chicago off guard, and they should have. The score doesn't indicate it, but they did a real good job.

Our run defense is our bread and butter, ... That's what we do: Stop the run. I think we're getting right where we need to be, at the right time.

I followed in his footsteps, ... To be a nose tackle and play in this defense, you couldn't want anything else. I'm built for this type of defense and it's fun for me to play.

We played a good game. We pitched well, we caught the ball, we ran the bases ... we just didn't hit. Four hits against a fifth starter is not going to get it done.
