Coach Talk

London Gentlemen
Nice work deploying a starting crew that earned 84 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into our next matchup in Week 2.
KayCee Chiefs
"Not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for KayCee Chiefs. As a group, our two wide receivers were targeted a respectable 11 times in Week 1. With just five total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
