Coach Talk

6'BURGH
Well 6'BURGH, the good news is that we won this matchup by 1.71 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 114.34. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Dawg Pound
Unless Dawg Pound wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 11 times in Week 14. With just six total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
