Coach Talk

Fieros
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a thrilling display by Patrick Mahomes, we tripled Cali life at the quarterback position this past week (34.9 points to 11.38). Mahomes orchestrated a big victory over the Cardinals, hitting 30 of 39 passes for 360 yards and five touchdowns.
Cali life
Do your best take comfort in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed, Cali life. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like Fieros succeed. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something along those lines!
