Some quotes from Brady after New England's 17-13 win, his 24th win in 28 career games decided by six points or less...
On his deke on Brian Urlacher:
I know. I would have never have thought I would, either. It must be the turf. I don’t think that would have happened a few weeks ago. That was pretty cool. At least I can tell my kids one day that I shook Brian Urlacher. They probably won’t believe me.
On what he said to Urlacher after the play:
We were laughing about it. He said, “Man, you made me look bad”. I said, “You make the whole team look bad”. He is a great player. That team can really bring it. The way they attack the football is pretty impressive. I wish we would have taken better care of the ball today. It is a great win for are team. They were 9-1. We really needed that one.
On what he said to the offense with the game tied:
I knew we were going to need a good drive. I said, “Guys, whatever happens, we are going to need a good drive. Whether it is a 2-minute offense or a 4-minute offense, we have to put together a good drive.” We made a few good plays and probably a few mistakes, too. But, Asante [Samuel] really picked our team up with those three picks. The one at the end was just an awesome play, so it was great to see.
On Benjamin Watson, who apologized for the first-quarter play that led to an interception:
Well, no one is trying to make mistakes out there and we all do it. Part of being a team is you have to pick the other guys up. Those guys pick me up a lot and when they are making great catches for me it kind of helps my confidence. I am always going to go back to Ben. Ben has proven what he can do out there as a threat for our offense. I am sure everyone is going to have a sleepless night tonight because everyone wishes they would have done some things better, but Ben really came back and made some great plays.
On Kevin Faulk:
He is a great player. He has great quickness. He has great vision out there and probably the best hands on the team. He and Troy Brown probably have the best hands on the team. He makes everybody miss as a running back. He is tough, he is a great leader and so dependable and consistent. He is awesome. He is what this team is built on, guys like that.

I would include A. Samuel among the "best hands" guys on this team. Any thoughts about him possibly taking a turn on offense, other than the risk because of his importance defensively? I like the way he tracks the ball as well as the receiver.
