Coach Talk

Cant Touch This
Getting the win is most important, Cant Touch This, but we definitely know of one spot where we should improve as a team; our quarterback was clearly outmatched by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 23-of-38 for 295 yards and four touchdowns for Josh's Team, and all Drew Brees could manage through the air was 127 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
Josh's Team
With literally no passes thrown their direction this past week the starting running backs for Josh's Team clearly need to investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
