Coach Talk

Sherlock Mahomes
Earning the win is most important, Sherlock Mahomes, but we do know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our running backs were severely outplayed this past week. Boston Scott (five total yards, no TDs) and Frank Gore (62 yards, no TDs) combined for only 7.2 points in Week 3. Kenyan Drake and Clyde Edwards-Helaire tripled us up with a score of 24.3. Let's sweet-talk the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 4!
SpotiOtiDopaliscious
Unless SpotiOtiDopaliscious wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 3. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched just 15 catches.
