Coach Talk

GB Packers (JP)
You know what, GB Packers (JP), we do certainly respect the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Davante Adams, DJ Moore, and Mike Williams), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
Pit Steelers (ZS)
Three wide receivers, one running back, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The five offensive skill starters on Pit Steelers (ZS) combined to register a whopping 351 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players could get into the end zone in Week 16.
