Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by a solid display from Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Pitt Steelers(TS) at the quarterback position this past week (13 points to 6). Mahomes went 23-for-38 for 295 yards and four TDs in a 40-33 win over the Raiders.
Pitt Steelers(TS)
With three catches on just four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Pitt Steelers(TS) obviously should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
