"Player safety is best taken care of by providing health insurance for players' lives," Briggs said. "Come on. It's like asking a boxer: 'Are your injuries related to taking blows to the head?' We throw our bodies around. It's physical. It's football. You can't stop the violence from happening."

"We were both mad because we aren't used to this. As long as (Briggs) and I have been here, we haven't played like this," Urlacher added. "We've had some spurts when we've been bad, but not for five games in a row when you get hit on big plays like that. So it's frustrating, but it's fixable."
