Coach Talk

Bell Cows
Well Bell Cows, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 10 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're stronger than this, as our scoring average through three weeks was 150.06. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Raider Nation
Our starting QB threw one interception and literally no touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Did Andy Dalton appear flustered back there in the pocket, or were the Steelers just that strong against the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other, The Raider Nation, as you deploy your lineup for Week 5 and beyond!
