Coach Talk

JT Stumbling Down That Hill
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat this, JT Stumbling Down That Hill: our running backs were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Aaron Jones (34 total yards, no TDs) and J.K. Dobbins (59 yards, no TDs) combined for just 11.3 points in Week 16, and the starting backfield for Not you again Durdle Turtle! doubled us up with a score of 26.8.
Not you again Durdle Turtle!
Your starting QB threw three interceptions and just one touchdown? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Was Derek Carr actually that sloppy from the pocket, or were the Steelers just that great defending the pass?
