On what it means to be 9-4 with a two-game lead in the division: “It’s big, you know. At the same time, in team meetings Coach (Caldwell) is like, ‘Hey, we’re just trying to be 4-0 again in this quarter,’ just like we did in the previous quarters. Did a good job, so this is one of that four. Obviously, it keeps us in a great position and we’ve just got to keep it going.”
On QB Matthew Stafford being able to keep plays alive: “It’s very important. The scramble plays are important just because when something breaks down, you know, you have a quarterback that can adjust to it and still make big plays and that’s what he did and it was a great play by him.”
On how this team is able to perform in the fourth quarter: “It’s super impressive. It’s kind of numb to us now just because when stuff happens we just say, ‘OK, let’s just go.’ You know, that’s how we’ve been from the beginning of the season and that’s what we did today, so we just have to go handle our business and we know that we can go take it the distance and that’s what we did.”
