Coach Talk

Steeler Nation
You know what, Steeler Nation, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky.
tommy's Legit Team
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for tommy's Legit Team collectively logged only three targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 13!
