Mike Tomlin always finds a way to get his teams to play .500 football so he's afforded the luxury of coming up with maxims like "there's a fine line between making wine and squashing grapes." And we should really embrace any football coach who says something interesting because that is simply not always the case.

It was a victory Dallas desperately needed and the Steelers will likely rue the time they let Rico Dowdle, Jalen Tolbert, and Hunter Luepke beat them. Kyle Brandt, as only he can, compared the Cowboys to the Grape Lady from the infamous internet clip.
