Green Bay Packers Transcripts, A.J. HAWK - Ingles

THE MODERATOR: Questions for A.J.?

What did you learn from the 2007 NFC title game last time you were in this position?

A.J. HAWK: I definitely learned it was a tough game to lose. That was for sure. I don't know. It's hard to play with a loss like that. Season comes to an abrupt end so quick. But I think just any kind of playoff experience helps. Especially just a big‑game atmosphere, big type ‑‑ great electricity in the air. It's going to be a little different. Obviously we're not at home this time. But same type of atmosphere surrounding the game, I'm sure.

With the whole Packers/Bears rivalry, it gives you a little more game experience in big type of situations like that.

On the road, how do you approach that?

A.J. HAWK: We feel comfortable on the road. We feel comfortable wherever we are. We love playing at Lambeau. But we knew getting into the playoffs that wasn't going to happen. We knew that last home game against Chicago was the last one of the year here.

But we feel really confident going on the road. We feel like you always talk about, if you want to have the guys with you on the sideline, but what's great about Packers fans, they travel everywhere. We had a ton of them in Atlanta. I'm sure a lot of them will be trying to get to Chicago.

We're confident out on the road. We know that you have to ‑‑ you've got to control the momentum of the game. You have to try to take the crowd out of it. And that will be a huge factor out of this coming Sunday.
