Coach Talk

Virgin squad
Wow, that Steelers defense didn't know what hit 'em! 29 connections on 35 attempts: good enough for an 83 percent completion percentage for Russell Wilson. In what wound up being a tight matchup, the GM of Virgin squad has to be thankful for the attention to detail.
Sissy
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 33 targets in Week 2. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in only 17 receptions.
