Coach Talk

Final Dez-tination
Hey now Final Dez-tination, that's what we're lookin' for! A solid 25 completions on 29 attempts this past go round for Mr. Efficiency... Uh, sorry, I mean Ben Roethlisberger. That Raiders defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Final Dez-tination is thankful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
Stingrays
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 41 targets in Week 14. With just 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
