Coach Talk

Nate's Awesome Team
Whoa, Nate's Awesome Team, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 35+ points, you also climbed a ridiculous three spots in the league standings... right into the thick of the playoff hunt
SteelersRing7
There's still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around, SteelersRing7! These upcoming opponents could look at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. You've got them right where you want 'em... deploy your best possible starting lineup and they won't see it coming!
