Coach Talk

Murphatron
Deploying a lineup that won by nearly 30 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to a tricky matchup in Week 15.
Mahomes muscles
Unless Mahomes muscles wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 25 times in Week 14. With only 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
