Coach Talk

Bear 503
You know what, Bear 503, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Marquise Goodwin), while still earning a W... that's borderline arrogant! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Legion of Boom
Your quarterback threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? We may should have a little debate here: Were the Steelers truly that good against the pass, or was Derek Carr just that out-of-tune with his receivers?
