Coach Talk

Lone Star Punishers
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome showing by Patrick Mahomes, we utterly dominated Adam's Astounding Team at the quarterback position this past week (30.6 points to 11.48). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 win over the Chargers.
Adam's Astounding Team
Unless Adam's Astounding Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a hearty 31 targets in Week 15. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
