Coach Talk

Gold Rush
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a stellar performance by Patrick Mahomes, we absolutely dominated Did I Hear a Niner? at the quarterback position this past week (30.6 points to 5.24). Mahomes went 31-for-47 for 410 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 34-28 victory over the Chargers.
Did I Hear a Niner?
Our quarterback threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Was Russell Wilson actually that off-rhythm with his receivers, or was the Rams secondary just that strong defending the pass?
