Coach Talk

Paul's Giant Kittens
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by an awesome performance by Jameis Winston, we tripled Steeler Nation at the quarterback position this past week (188 points to 57). Winston went 33-for-45 for 456 yards, four TDs, and three INTs in a three-point win over the Colts.
Steeler Nation
Don't get too down on yourself, Steeler Nation! I mean, just think big-picture here: only one team's actually gonna win this thing... you may as well bow out gracefully now and begin regrouping for next year, eh?
