Coach Talk

LULU
Football is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by a stellar display from Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Joshua's Team at the quarterback position this past week (25.44 points to 10.96). Mahomes went 23-for-33 for 251 yards and two TDs in a 26-3 win over the Bears.
Joshua's Team
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Joshua's Team failed to register a single target via the passing game this past week.
