KayCee Chiefs stepped up, securing a 365.96-324.28 win over Pai Mei, who fell short of projections. KayCee Chiefs leapt out to a 147.14-point lead on Thursday behind 137.14 points from Derrick Henry (238 Rush Yds, 4 Rush TDs) and Dion Lewis (13 Rush Yds, 39 Rec Yds) and never looked back.

Coach Talk

KayCee Chiefs
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, KayCee Chiefs. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning a win... talk about arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week and we'll be toast.
Pai Mei
Wait, our starting QB tossed four interceptions and no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Did Jared Goff seem shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Bears secondary just that good defending the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other... Pai Mei, as you manage your lineup in Week 15 and beyond!
