Coach Talk

DOOMSDAY
Earning the win is most important, DOOMSDAY, but we certainly know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our quarterback was utterly outplayed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 23-of-30 for 258 yards and three touchdowns for SHOW ME THE MONEY, and all Matthew Stafford could manage through the air was 197 yards and one passing TD (plus three ugly interceptions).
SHOW ME THE MONEY
Hey, it's possible that SHOW ME THE MONEY could be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 16 total targets this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
