Swizzle Stix
You know what, Swizzle Stix, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Rob Gronkowski), while still getting a W... talk about arrogant.
THE PITT. CREW
Unless THE PITT. CREW wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 40 targets in Week 16. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 22 balls.
