Coach Talk

Steeler Nation
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up TOUCHDOWN at the wide receiver position (35.72 points to 14.6).
TOUCHDOWN
Three wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, zero touchdowns: The six starting offensive position players on TOUCHDOWN collectively gained a healthy 360 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could get into the end zone in Week 5.
