1. Matt Prater wants a Lions vs Broncos Super Bowl: "I look at this team (Lions) as the same as I do Denver. There is a lot of talent here and they're first in the division right now and they've lost some close games that they should've won. Hopefully moving down, we'll get better, win some games, and maybe see Denver in the Super Bowl, who knows."

2. Mike Babcock on his expiring contract and if he wants to be here: "Absolutely. I think they'd like me to stay, and I'd like to stay. Ken Holland and I sit next to each other on the plane and we're around each other all the time. I heard him describe to someone the other day that we're like an old married couple. The reality is, we've got lots of time. I'm not spending much time worrying about it. These things all find a way to workout. If you do a good job, good things happen."

3. Calvin Johnson on the report that he is "frustrated" with his role in Lions offense: "I haven't even talked to anybody since this time last week, any media, so even after the game I haven't talked to anybody. Who knows where the report came from. "I'm not frustrated. Anytime you get an injury, it's going to be tough, but I never mentioned I was frustrated about anything."

4. Ndamukong Suh was asked if he will miss playing Adrian Peterson this week: "Do I miss it? I mean, I'd love to play against him, I played against him the last four years, (he's) a good friend of mine, (I) enjoy watching him play. I love going against him, you always want to get the best out of somebody's team, but it is what it is."

5. Matthew Stafford on if he thinks the offense has gotten better or worse: "It's a combination, I think. I think we're getting better at certain things, and other things we're still trying to find our way through."
