Coach Talk

Bad News Bears
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by a stellar outing from Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up I Heart Chiavettas at the quarterback position this past week (29.6 points to 13.8). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a six-point victory over the Chargers.
I Heart Chiavettas
I Heart Chiavettas will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 29 targets in Week 15. With just 17 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
