Coach Talk

Pittsburgh Steelers
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A whopping 23 completions on 26 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 88% for Kirk Cousins this past week. The Redskins secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Seattle Seahawks
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in next week, right? The 10 starting offensive position players (five WRs, three RBs, two TEs) on Seattle Seahawks combined to register 304 yards and just one touchdown in Week 8. The skill players on Pittsburgh Steelers definitely outperformed us by logging 735 yards and five scores.
