Coach Talk

StillBetterThanKalab
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, StillBetterThanKalab. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Terry McLaurin), while still earning a win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Rollin' with Mahomes
Hey, Rollin' with Mahomes, what'd your wideouts do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just three targets combined this past week, our two wide receivers obviously got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
