Coach Talk

House of Mahomes
Whoa, now that's the sort of showing we like to see! A completion percentage of 88 percent this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Patrick Mahomes. That Texans defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of House of Mahomes is grateful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
The Under Dawgs
With only a couple of receptions this past week, the starting running backs for The Under Dawgs should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
