Coach Talk

Steeler Nation
Hey, we admire the confidence, Steeler Nation. Deploying a starter with zero points (Greg Zuerlein), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. It's a saucy way to put a stamp on the season and the fantasy gods were looking out for you this week!
champion's 13 times
