Coach Talk

Rollin' with Mahomes
Good work, Rollin' with Mahomes. Fielding a starting crew that logged 142.75 points in Week 6... we'll keep this momentum as we step into our Week 7 matchup.
Droppin Bombs
Look, Droppin Bombs, I've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to miraculously appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, okay... hoping for an additional 14 points may be a little excessive.
