Coach Talk

Pit Steelers (ZS)
You know Pit Steelers (ZS), the good news is that we won this matchup by 4 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through 12 weeks was 37.42. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
New York Giants
Your quarterback threw two interceptions and not a single touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Were the Patriots truly that strong defending the pass, or was Justin Herbert just that out-of-tune with his receivers? What do you think, New York Giants, do we continue to start him with confidence?
