Artrell Hawkins
On the Bears' passing game and the pass interference penalties against the Pats:

It was throw the ball up and either they're going to make a play on the ball or hopefully they're going to get a pass interference call. Two bad pass interference penalties by myself and Ellis Hobbs. At that point in the game, we have to have better discipline and play the ball in the air because it really swings field position. I'm not ragging on the rules, but the rules don't really go in favor of defensive backs. You can't cut their progression off and you can't touch them after five yards. It's a good play -- if you're an offensive coordinator or a quarterback, just throw it up. It was underthrown, but the rules are the rules. They called it and it was a big swing of field position. Fortunately for me, the offense came out and they answered the bell.

Heath Evans
On Tom Brady's 11-yard fourth quarter scramble

He's the best quarterback in football, but he is not the most gifted runner. He's a great player, bottom line.

Dan Koppen
On Chicago's defensive line

They get the hype because they deserve it. They are a good front and I don't think we took anything extra this week and we just tried to go out to practice and get better and execute our game plan to the best of our abilities no matter if we were running or passing the ball.

On Brady's run

He made that move seven yards away from Urlacher and I don't know how he got around him, but bless him he did and got the first down.
