QUOTE THE LIONS The following is a quote sheet with excerpts from Lions Head Coach Jim Caldwell and Lions players following the team s 18-16 win over Green Bay in Week 10. HEAD COACH JIM CALDWELL On what it means to get a win over Green Bay: Well, you know, big win for us. It s the first one in this quarter against a division foe that, perennially, has been outstanding within the league. To be able to come in here and get a win is pretty special and not only that, I think it s special for our fans, special for the Ford Family and the organization because it s been a while since it s I haven t necessarily been here, but I certainly can feel and sense how eager everybody was to come here and get a victory and our guys came through with that today. They played tough, played hard and I m proud of them. On how much credit he gives the players for maintaining their focus: I think that s kind of the mark of this group. Everybody underestimates that, but you guys can see it. You interview them and you know they keep their focus. They compartmentalize things. They don t get frustrated and we haven t had many issues like that. They bind together, they play for one another, they love one another and I think you can certainly see that the way they play. On ending the streak of losses at Lambeau Field: I don t downplay that. I want you to understand that. I just don t carry the weight of it. Mrs. Ford, I can guarantee you one thing, she s happy and extremely excited about it. It s a great organizational win and not only that, it s for the fans. The fans, that s one of the things that I would hear consistently from fans, they ve always been great and positive when out on the street or in a restaurant or whatever. Everybody talks about going to Lambeau Field and getting a victory and because of the fact that it s been something that s just carried on for a number of years, so we re certainly happy to come in here and play well and well enough to win. QB MATTHEW STAFFORD On breaking the streak at Lambeau Field: It feels good just because we won the game. It was up and down, and obviously, it was not pretty in a lot of areas. We had some mistakes on all three phases, but we also made some big plays in all three, and sometimes offset those mistakes. We did a great job. Our defense played great. We made enough plays late in the game to win it and that s what it is all about. On moving forward: It s really nice to not play your best and win a game. We didn t play our best, by any means. We had communication errors, we had physical errors, we had all sorts of errors on all three phases. That s the way football is. It s an imperfect game, but you have to make the plays to win it. We had a great kick off return, Golden (Tate) made a great play, Calvin (Johnson) made some great plays. Our defense stood tall and made some big time plays. We didn t give up a sack today. So, it was a lot of stuff to build off of, but also a lot of stuff to clean up as well. CALVIN JOHNSON On what it means personally to get a win at Lambeau: I went over to (Don) Muhlbach, I think he might ve been close to shedding a tear, he almost made me feel the same kind of way. But there s a couple guys in this locker room, (Matthew) Stafford included, that have never got a win up here, so this is one of the more gratifying ones, one of the most gratifying ones. On what this win says about the team: We have a lot of the same guys we had in the locker room last year, so guys expect to win. We all expect to win and the fact that we weren t doing it early, that s not going to deter us from working hard in practice and giving our all in the game. CREZDON BUTLER On Green Bay s failed two-point conversion attempt: We got a lot of pressure up the middle and he (Rodgers) put a little more air on the ball than he wanted to and I ended up making the play. On frustrating Green Bay s offense: We played physical. We didn t want to sit back and let the receivers get into their routes. We didn t want them to have timing throws. We were looking to get up in their faces fast. We didn t want him (Rodgers) to be able to control the game. We wanted to control him, so we brought pressure and we were in their faces. S GLOVER QUIN On the defensive effort against Green Bay: Before we left from the bye week, we talked about the mindset coming back, what it was going to take for us to win. We talked about being able to stop the run. We talked about being able to play man-coverage and lock up so that we can load the box and make sure we get the run stopped to get after the quarterback. We challenged our DBs to cover, we challenged our front seven to stop the run and today we did that. We were able to lock in and stay focused for the whole game and we stopped the run and we were able to play man-to-man coverage. On the historic win: I hadn t heard anyone saying anything about a streak. But I told you guys earlier in the week, streaks and records are made to be broken. If it hasn t been broken, somebody is going to do it eventually, one day. Today was that day. It was a great win for us, it was a great win for this organization, and we got to stack them up. TE BRANDON PETTIGREW On what the win says about the team going forward: It s huge to come out here and perform like that and that game was so back and forth. I don t think any of us have been in a game that back and forth. It came down to the last little bit and we took care of business. On how it felt to get in the end zone: It s been a while. That brought some more life into me. I was excited to get back into the end zone, always a good thing to get in the end zone. Say a prayer, thanks to the blessing of getting back in there.
