Coach Talk

Sherlock Mahomes
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Sherlock Mahomes! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our running backs were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Devin Singletary (89 total yards, no TDs) and Sony Michel (103 yards, no TDs) combined for only 17.2 points in Week 15. Devonta Freeman and Kenyan Drake showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 44.1.
The Dominators
The Dominators will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 18 times in Week 15. With just 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
