Coach Talk

Reynolds Rejects
These types of narrow victories can be paramount for team chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit unit... we expect the Reynolds Rejects locker room to really gel entering Week 17.
Melvin's My Granddad
Our starting QB tossed three interceptions and just a single touchdown? I suppose we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here. Did Derek Carr appear rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Steelers just that great against the pass?
