Coach Talk

Coupe
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling STEEL CURTAIN at the wide receiver position (56 points to 14).
STEEL CURTAIN
Tons of action between the 20's: The six starting offensive position players (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on STEEL CURTAIN combined to register a whopping 505 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 16.
