Urlacher wiggled his fingers in the air as he departed the field at halftime, a gesture interpreted as mocking toward the jeering fans.
His actions fueled criticism on talk-radio shows Monday morning, particularly from those displeased with the way the six-time Pro Bowler has played this season.
Urlacher is angry?:
"I was just putting my hands in the air," on third down, when the fans are cheering and we throw our arms up for them to scream louder, what's the difference? If I choose to do it when they're booing, there's something wrong with it?"People can think what they want and they will, so that's fine with me."
Lovie Smith on Booing of Grossman:
"The fans are a big part of what we're doing," Smith said. "When you go through adversity, I see everyone rallying together [and] using positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement has never really worked for me. ... I would just hope that most of the time we'll hear positive reinforcement to help us get through some of those times. That's what a team does."
More Brian Urlacher talk:
"We've got a quarterback who comes in off the bench and leads us to a victory, and they boo him right out of the gate, poor guy. Lucky for him he's resilient and he came back and led us to two scoring drives. But man, it's tough."
"I don't feel like I'm playing terrible, I don't know what the big deal is. People just expect more of me, which is fine."
