Coach Talk

Two Cool Dudes
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Along with dominating Pizza boy at QB (53.88 points to 21.48), we also tripled them at RB (39.1 to 13).
Pizza boy
Our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just one touchdown? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Did Josh Rosen seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Chiefs secondary just that strong defending the pass? The judgment is yours to cast, Pizza boy, as you deploy your lineup for Week 11 and beyond!
