Coach Talk

CHIEFS
Nice job deploying a lineup that accounted for almost 145 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 5 matchup.
Injury Prone
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our three wide receivers combined to receive a grand total of 13 targets in Week 4. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they notched just eight receptions.
