Coach Talk

Abdulla Oblongota
Listen Abdulla Oblongota, the good news is that we took this matchup by more than 49 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 12 stood at 428.07. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
KayCee Chiefs
KayCee Chiefs may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 30 times in Week 13. With only 18 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
