Coach Talk

The Khalianos
Earning the win is most important, The Khalianos, but we've also identified one spot where we should get stronger as a team... our quarterback was significantly overmatched this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 33-of-46 for 478 yards and six touchdowns for Abra Kadabra, and all Russell Wilson could manage was a 21-for-31 outing, with 225 yards and two passing scores. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Abra Kadabra
Abra Kadabra may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 37 times in Week 11. With just 18 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
