Lions' Wayne Fontes

Q: What are your feelings after a heartbreaking loss like this?

A: I'm proud of this team. We wanted to win very badly. I havenever seen a football team play this hard. We had a couple badbreaks against us, and we had a few chances to put it away and winit.

Q: What were you think when the Bears' were lining up for thegame-winning field goal?

A: Miss it. Miss it. Block it.

Q: What did you tell the defense during the two-minute warningin the fourth quarter?

A: I told them, `Don't let the Bears in, we've come too far.Just don't let them beat us now.'

Q: On the third-and-four play at the end of the game, when (Jim)Harbaugh hit (Dennis) McKinnon for a first down, did you think youhad it defensed?

A: When we blitzed our safeties, Harbaugh just threw it up and Ithought we were going to get it. But that's how everything went allday.

Q: Did Harbaugh surprise you?

A: No. We knew he was a scrambler and we knew we would have tokeep him in the pocket.

Q: Do you think you caught the Bears looking ahead?

A: No, not at all. They came out and played hard. They knewthat Minnesota was losing.

Q: What happened on the missed extra-point?

A: It looked like they just had great pressure inside. Thathurt. That made it a two-point game, and they have a good field-goalkicker.

Q: Did any one play lose the game?

A: I've got three or four guys in the locker room that I want totalk to, because they all feel that they let the team down. But noone play or one person lost this game.
