Coach Talk

lawrence's Team
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Chief at the wide receiver position (53.8 points to 18.7).
Chief
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for Chief collectively logged just two receptions on four targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 10!
