Coach Talk

🏆🐲 KING KOOPA 🐲🏆
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Patrick Mahomes, we tripled GD Team at the quarterback position this past week (18.02 points to 5.74). Mahomes went 24-for-34 for 243 yards and two TDs in a 29-28 loss to the Chargers.
GD Team
"Not seeing enough chances" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for GD Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a whopping 19 targets in Week 15. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group reeled in just 10 catches.
