Coach Talk

GO STEELERS!!!!! 🖤💛
Yo, GO STEELERS!!!!! 🖤💛, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 86 points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings. Nice work!
Cervone Rage
Unless Cervone Rage wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 21 times in Week 16. With just 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
