Coach Talk

Boomkanani ◇
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Patrick Mahomes, we absolutely dominated Detroit Lions at the quarterback position this past week (36.6 points to 5.76). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 triumph over the Chargers.
Detroit Lions
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 15. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they managed only 15 catches.
