Coach Talk

Captain Kangaroo
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a awesome display from Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly outplayed Captain Stoney at the quarterback position this past week (21.78 points to 3.7). Mahomes went 35-for-53 for 377 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 27-24 triumph over the Ravens.
Captain Stoney
Unless Captain Stoney wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" cannot be an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 22 targets in Week 14. With just 13 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
