Coach Talk

Las Vegas Raiders
Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied 256.64 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business.
Kansas City Chiefs
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
