"We're basically mirror images of each other," Rams cornerback Ronald Bartell said of the Lions. "You're talking about two defensive-oriented coaches, two young quarterbacks. They've been in a lot of close games. They're unfortunate to come out on the losing side, but they're a good football team. They have a strong offense, a great front four on defense. It's the same type of franchise we are, the same type of philosophy, which is running the football, taking care of the football and playing tough defense."

"It really comes down to a game of inches," Lions linebacker Julian Peterson said. "Unfortunately, we haven't been getting the breaks when it comes towards the end of the game. But we kind of shoot ourselves in the foot at times in the beginning to kind of put us in some of those types of positions. We'll give up a big play or have a big play happen against us, and then we start to settle down. Or we'll be in the driver's seat and then we let a big play happen and it's like, 'Oh, here we go again.’ But I'd say we're (heading) in a right direction. I mean, sooner or later, it's going to happen, we're going to get this win. And when it happens, it's going to be great for our team."
