On playing close games against the Philadelphia Eagles: "Yeah it was a 4th quarter game, we knew it was going to be tough game, both a pivotal point in our season, both really need this game…defense hung in there, kept us in the game and we were able to put up some points late."
On the play of WR Earl Bennett: "He's a special player. He brings a different dimension out there, he's able to catch and run after the catch, and do some special things, and he's got a great feel."
On the 2nd half of the game: "I think the line did a great job, it was just me trusting the pocket and getting a good feel in there. I started clicking with WR Earl [Bennett] and started to try to find him a little bit more, it was just one of those things where you have to feel out the game and as the game went on we got a little bit better."
On the Philadelphia Eagles being the favorite to win: "I don't get involved in the spread or what the media says, we knew that they're a good football team, well coached, they've got really good football players I look for them to make a run in the second half of the season. We're just lucky to get out of here with the victory."
On the Chicago Bears WR corps: "My group is always ready and willing and hungry to go out there and play well. They do a great job, we asked them to do a lot of different things, and be in a lot of different spots. We challenge them mentally quite a bit, and tonight they did a good job."
On the Chicago Bears' offensive line: "They're getting better and better, getting better and better. RG Lance [Louis] out there, right tackle, new position, each game he's improved and Chris Spencer's done an unbelievable job to step in from center to right guard for us, LG Chris Williams has been solid all year and C [Roberto] Garza's been the anchor in there, so we've got a really good group."
On RB Matt Forte's fumble: "Matt's our workhorse, we're going to continue to lean on him the second half of the season, he knows that. I throw picks, I told him that it happens, you have to let it roll off and keep going. He's a great player and he's going to continue to be our guy."
On responding to adversity late in the game: "I don't know about adversity? We gave them 14-points, but our defense held us in there, offensive line did a great job, and we got a victory on the road."
On playing the QB position: "It starts up front, if my feet are clean, and I've got a good pocket and I can see what's happening down field, I'm probably going to have a good day and as the game progressed that started happening."
On the touchdown to WR Earl Bennett: "It was going to be something inside, and something presented itself where we couldn't run it and he knew exactly what I was thinking, I've been playing with him for a long time, and we've got kind of a connection where he knew what I was thinking and I know what he's thinking and it worked out."
On having time in the pocket: "We can do whatever we want, we can throw down field, we can throw quick, we can roll out, it's an array of things that we have in this offense, and when that front five is comfortable and they're picking things up, and the pocket's clean, it's going to be hard to stop us."
