"It's Philadelphia; I don't think you need to say anything else other than that, with great respect," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said via ESPN.com. "It's loud and clear on the bus ride. It reminds you of some of the high school or college games we were all part of in our youth. You come around that corner there, and you get a heck of a welcome by the Philadelphia fans. That just kind of sets the tone for the rest of the evening."
Aaron Rodgers had positive things to say, as well.
