Coach Talk

Don Compalino’s Team
You know, this sport is all about finding the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome outing from Patrick Mahomes, we tripled The Brady Bunch at the quarterback position this past week (44 points to 13.18). Mahomes breezed through the Ravens defense by recording 385 yards and four passing touchdowns.
The Brady Bunch
Unless The Brady Bunch wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to get a healthy 26 targets in Week 3. With just 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
