Coach Talk

Bronco Buster
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Bronco Buster! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our wide receivers were severely overmatched by the opposition. Held back by an Adam Thielen goose-egg and DeAndre Hopkins (23 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for just 25 points in Week 16. The starting wideouts for Steeler Nation literally quadrupled us with a score of 103.
Steeler Nation
Steeler Nation will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 30 targets in Week 16. With only 16 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
