Coach Talk

Rollin’ with Mahomes
Props on assembling a lineup that registered over 155 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do. We should keep this momentum going as we step into our Week 16 matchup.
I Gould Care Less
Unless I Gould Care Less wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 18 times in Week 15. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 11 catches.
