Coach Talk

Chiefs Fan
Nice job, Chiefs Fan. Putting together a starting crew that netted more than 151 points this past week.
CARDINAL & GOLD
CARDINAL & GOLD may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 19 times in Week 15. With only 10 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
