"I imagine it would have been at a time either we were at our best and I was excited for them, or we were not at our best and I was wanting to get excited for them," Quinn said with a smile.

NOTES: RB Tevin Coleman (rib), TE Jacob Tamme (concussion) and WR Devin Hester (toe) did not practice. LB Brooks Reed (groin) is practicing and could return this week. ...
