Coach Talk

Raiders4Life
Wow, that Raiders defense didn't know what hit 'em! 20 completions on 24 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 83% for Patrick Mahomes. We know the GM of Raiders4Life is appreciative of that attention to detail.
PJ
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively got a grand total of 44 targets in Week 14. With only 25 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
