Coach Talk

Studs and Duds
Wow, that Texans secondary didn't stand a chance! 36 connections on 41 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 88 percent for Patrick Mahomes. We know the GM of Studs and Duds has gotta be thankful for that attention to detail.
Mystic Moose
Fortunately, Mystic Moose, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all put this in the rear-view mirror and assume it's not going to happen again?
