Linebacker Brian Urlacher, on the Bucs' last-second field goal:
"I thought, 'Here we go again into overtime.' Finally, we got a break and didn't have to go into overtime. It was nice to finally get a win that way."
Defensive tackle James Williams, on the Bears' good luck:
"Somebody around here has a rabbit's foot in their back pocket, and they ain't telling anybody. But hold onto it because we've got a long way to go."
Safety Tony Parrish on the Bears' penchant for late hysteria:
"Anybody who has been watching us this season knows that it's never really over. I wish it wouldn't be like that, especially when we're (leading)."
Quarterback Jim Miller, on the Bucs' inability to cover Marty Booker:
"Ronde Barber didn't know what to do. He couldn't cover Marty."
Parrish, on his late interception:
"I came down in coverage, and I saw the tight end coming vertical. And then I peeked out, and I was able to come underneath and get it."
Safety Mike Brown, on his postgame shouting match with Bucs receiver Keyshawn Johnson:
"It was just one of those things that happens. It was just the emotions of the football game. It probably got a little out of hand there toward the end. It was just emotional people in emotional situations, and it got pretty heated."
