Coach Talk

Gnaperville Gnus
Well Gnaperville Gnus, the good news is that we won this matchup by 5 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 4 stood at 78.5. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
KGG FB
Wait, our quarterback tossed an interception and not a single touchdown? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Jacoby Brissett actually that inaccurate from the pocket, or was the Chiefs secondary just that stout defending the pass? What do you think, KGG FB, do we continue to start him with confidence?
