Coach Talk

Oakland Panthers
Whoa, Oakland Panthers, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this performance. Not only did you win by more than 116 points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings!
Tengen ✨✨
Your quarterback tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Was Kenny Pickett actually that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Eagles secondary just that stout defending the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other... Tengen ✨✨. The Steelers have a bye in Week 9, so luckily you've got some extra time to ponder that one!
