Coach Talk

Angeell's Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Case in point: we really emphasized that by tripling High Fives at running back this past week (21.9 points to 7.3).
High Fives
Our quarterback threw four interceptions and just one touchdown? I suppose we're presented with a fork in the road here. Did Philip Rivers seem shaky back there in the pocket, or were the Chiefs just that good defending the pass? What do you think, High Fives, do we continue to start him with confidence?
