Coach Talk

MGKVSBRD
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A whopping 20 connections on 24 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 83% for Patrick Mahomes this past week. The Raiders secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
DITKA
You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed, DITKA. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like MGKVSBRD succeed. Who knows, maybe you'll play them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they forget to update their lineup that week to return the favor!
