Coach Talk

Holy Smokers
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling performance from Patrick Mahomes, we tripled 3rd and Long at the quarterback position this past week (35.84 points to 11.48). Mahomes may not have earned the win for the Chiefs, but he sure helped us by going 36-of-50 for 446 yards and three passing TDs.
3rd and Long
Unless 3rd and Long wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 38 times in Week 10. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 23 balls.
