Coach Talk

Rollin’ with Mahomes
Deploying a lineup that recorded more than 126 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right.
Top Gun
With just one catch on four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Top Gun clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
