Coach Talk

Kittle Corn
Whoa, now that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 83% this past go round for Mr. Efficiency... Uh, sorry, I mean Patrick Mahomes. That Raiders secondary didn't see it coming! We know the manager of Kittle Corn is grateful for the efficiency and attention to detail.
The Hitman
The Hitman will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to receive a healthy 20 targets in Week 14. With only 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
