Said Packers RB Ryan Grant of the team’s place in the NFC North, “We’re the champions until somebody takes it to us.”

The Packers wore down the Bears’ defense with long drives in all four quarters.

“I was very, very pleased with the way the defense played,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

Said Packers LT Chad Clifton, “As a collective unit, we kind of put it on our shoulders and said, ‘We’re going to get this done.’”

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers made a critical mistake when he badly underthrew WR Donald Driver while the game was still close.

Packers K Mason Crosby made all three field goal attempts.

Bears LB Hunter Hillenmeyer isn’t happy that he’s out of the starting defense and playing mostly special teams.

Bears GM Jerry Angelo says he’s surprised that LB Brian Urlacher hasn’t made more big plays.

Said Bears coach Lovie Smith, “We have veterans in the locker room. We’ve been down before, and now it’s a critical stage. We’ll step up, get some things corrected and go from there.”

Said Bears QB Kyle Orton, ”You could go around to every position group on the entire team, and we stunk it up. I stunk it up.”
