Coach Talk

Balls Deep
Earning the win is most important, Balls Deep, but we definitely know of one spot where we should get better as a team. Our QB was thoroughly outmatched by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 24-of-34 for 243 yards and two touchdowns for THANOS, and all Cam Newton could manage through the air was 131 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
THANOS
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six offensive skill starters on THANOS (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 426 total yards. Not one of those players was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
