Coach Talk

The Jared Brady’s
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A superb 36 connections on 41 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 88% for Patrick Mahomes this past week. The Texans secondary didn't see it coming!.
Charlie Murphy's Unreal Team
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Seems like Justin Tucker might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
