Coach Talk

Studs and Duds
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid showing by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Devin the Great at the quarterback position this past week (24.98 points to 10.28). Mahomes went 32-for-47 for 397 yards, two TDs, and two INTs in a 31-13 victory over the Football Team.
Devin the Great
Unless Devin the Great wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group managed only 15 receptions.
