Coach Talk

Tim's Terminators
You know what, Tim's Terminators, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Javonte Williams), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Hague's Hawks
Wait, our quarterback threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Did Derek Carr seem shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Steelers secondary just that stout defending the pass?
