Coach Talk

owen's Unreal Team
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid display by Patrick Mahomes, we royally dominated Carson’s Team at the quarterback position this past week (41.24 points to 16.42). Mahomes orchestrated a big win over the Raiders, going 35-of-50 for 406 yards and five passing TDs.
Carson’s Team
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Carson’s Team. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 10. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group notched only 11 catches.
