Coach Talk

Satan's Soldiers
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a stellar performance from Patrick Mahomes, we almost tripled slim pikn'z at the quarterback position this past week (40 points to 14). Mahomes torched the Raiders secondary by logging 406 yards and five passing touchdowns.

Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 32 targets in Week 10. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched only 19 catches.
