Coach Talk

Garret's Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, Garret's Team. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Danielle Hunter and Adoree' Jackson), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. It's a saucy way to conclude the season and the fantasy gods were good to you this week!
Win or die trying
Your quarterback tossed an interception and literally no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Did Robert Griffin III seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Steelers secondary just that stout defending the pass?
