Coach Talk

Pittsburgh Steelers
Listen, Pittsburgh Steelers, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Chicago Bears
Hey, our crew was just resting up for Week 5, right? The 10 starting offensive position players on Chicago Bears (four WRs, two RBs, four TEs) combined to register 369 yards and just two touchdowns in Week 4. The skill players on Pittsburgh Steelers stuffed the statsheet by logging 598 yards and four scores.
