Coach Talk

Hakuna Matata
Hey now Hakuna Matata, that's the sort of showing we like to see! A completion percentage of 82 percent for Josh Allen this past week. Quality *and* quantity! The Seahawks defense didn't stand a chance! We know the manager of Hakuna Matata has got to be thankful for that precision and attention to detail.
KC Chiefs 0-5 Start
Posting only two targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for KC Chiefs 0-5 Start clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
