(on what was going through his mind when Brett Favre went down) "I was hoping what happened was that the wind was knocked out of him. Fortunately, that's what happened. But it was a little scary for me. Even when I call safe plays, he can make those safe plays very unsafe."

(on whether Favre should be the MVP) "He should be MVP. I'd vote for him, clearly."

(on whether this team is as good as last year's team) "I wouldn't say that -- it's a different team, different season. They are very comparable, except maybe in the area of our return game."

(on the return game against the Bills) "We placed particular emphasis on our return game this week and we came close a few times. We improved over the Carolina game and that's what I was looking for."

(on trying to get Dorsey Levens the rushing record) "We were trying. I was pleading with everybody, 'He's got one more series, let's see if we can get it for him.' Give Buffalo credit, they played good rush defense. But Dorsey came out of it healthy, and in the big scheme of things, that's what is most important."

(on Robert Brooks reaching 1,000 yards receiving for the season) "It's nice to see Robert get 1,000 yards after what he's been through."

QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE:
(on getting knocked down early) "It kind of knocked the wind out of me. It scared me more than anything."

(on the Buffalo defense) "Their defense is the best run-stopping defense we've faced. You can't run through the middle on them and we found that out. But we made plays when we had to."

(on Robert Brooks reaching 1,000 yards receiving for the season) "It's nice to see him do that, especially with what Robert has had to overcome. He's come back better than he was."

(on how he feels about this team compared to last year's team) "I feel just as good about this team, if not better. The only unfortunate thing is that we might have to go on the road. But we feel like we're better on the road this season. We have to take care of business next week."

(on whether he had more fun this season) "I had just as much fun, if not more. Once we relaxed and let ourselves go, we realized, 'Hey, it's not going to be easy, but if we play our game, we'll be OK.'"

(on whether he thinks about the MVP) "I think about it a lot. Sure, I'd love to win it -- it's an unbelievable award and no one has ever won it three times. I'd rather win a Super Bowl, but both would be nice."

(on the play of the offensive line this season) "It's the best line we've had since I've been here. Ross (Verba) is not playing like a rookie and in my opinion Frank (Winters) is the best center in the league. You just don't hear these guys' names a lot because they're doing their job."

(on his cross-field "scramble" in the second quarter) "I think I heard about nine of our guys say, 'Throw it away!' But I've always told them, don't ever give up because you never know where I might be coming from. Chewy (Mark Chmura) looked like he was running in quicksand."

DEFENSIVE BACK DARREN SHARPER:
(on his touchdown) "Sometimes it just happens. I got lucky, I was in the right place at the right time. (The quarterback) kind of led the receiver, so it wasn't too hard of a catch. I was able to get it and run it into the end zone."

WIDE RECEIVER ANTONIO FREEMAN:
(on the offense's improvement) "I don't think today's game was any different from the past three, four weeks. The key to this offense is timing."

(on Robert Brooks reaching 1,000 yards receiving for the season) "It's great. I think it's really been tough on Robert, not really knowing what the final outcome of the surgery would be. But he has always had an aggressive approach, and he still does."

TIGHT END TYRONE DAVIS:
(on his first touchdown) "I saw the ball come down and their guy was near it. I didn't know whether he touched it or not, but you never know so I covered the ball and ran it in."

(on his second touchdown) "It was one of our red zone plays. I think the defense was a little confused. I knew I was near the out-of-bounds line, so I tried to drag my feet. That's what kept me in."
