Coach Talk

MGKvsBRD
Listen MGKvsBRD, the good news is that we took this matchup by 11.54 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 10 stood at 103.07. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Space Force
Wait, our starting QB threw four interceptions and just one touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a fork in the road here: Were the Chiefs genuinely that good against the pass, or was Philip Rivers just that off-rhythm with his receiving crew? You'll need to decide one way or the other... Space Force. The Chargers have a bye in Week 12, so luckily you've got some extra time to ponder that one!
