Coach Talk

papa pasta
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up VB Bone Chompers at the wide receiver position (64.5 points to 32).
VB Bone Chompers
Sorry VB Bone Chompers, but this close defeat can be attributed more to the Chiefs coaching staff than on the quarterback. The weekly gameplan required the QB to throw just 24 pass attempts, and Patrick Mahomes did his part... completing a spectacular 83% of them!
