Coach Talk

Indianapolis Colts
Nice work, Indianapolis Colts. Deploying a lineup that won by nearly 165 points in Week 15.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Unless Pittsburgh Steelers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (six WR and two TE) collectively received a healthy 40 targets in Week 15. With just 21 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
