Coach Talk

Beefman
Whoa now Beefman, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan can do for ya! A solid 20 completions on 24 attempts for Patrick Mahomes this past week. Quality and some quantity! The Raiders secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Beefman has got to be thankful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
#Unlucky13
With just two receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for #Unlucky13 obviously should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
