Coach Talk

New England Patriots
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid outing from Patrick Mahomes, we nearly tripled Hou Texans (GA) at the quarterback position this past week (17 points to 6). Mahomes cruised through the Raiders defense by putting up 406 yards and five passing touchdowns.
Hou Texans (GA)
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Hou Texans (GA) collectively logged only a couple of targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 11!
