Coach Talk

The Shredder
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A spectacular 25 connections on 31 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 81% for Joe Burrow this past week. The Chiefs secondary didn't see it coming!.
NEVER LOOK BACK
Unless NEVER LOOK BACK wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 27 targets in Week 13. With only 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
