Coach Talk

My Ball Zach Ertz
Getting the win is most important, My Ball Zach Ertz, but we also know of one spot where we can improve as a team: our quarterback was clearly outplayed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 24-of-44 for 278 yards and two touchdowns for AtomicDawgs20, and all Jared Goff could put up was a 24-for-43 outing for 234 passing yards.
AtomicDawgs20
Unless AtomicDawgs20 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 19 targets in Week 16. With just 11 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
