Bengals wide received Chad Ochocinco on the team’s offensive struggles Sunday:
“That’s our fault. We’ve been saying that we can’t keep winning with the way we’ve been playing. We’ve got to be consistent for all four quarters.”

Packers wide receiver Donald Driver on becoming the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions on Sunday:

20 (F/OT)
Star Player of the Game: Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who rushed 33 times for 133 yards & scored 3 touchdowns.
Jones-Drew on his big performance Sunday after recently complaning to the coaches about his number of touches:
“I just wanted to show people my frustration of losing. I feel we are on the verge of being great, but we just have to feel the same way about frustration. I lashed out a little bit. I think I went overboard, but the coaches understood after I talked to them and told them what it was about.”

Star Player of the Game: Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice, who caught 6 receptions for 176 yards.
