Coach Talk

House of Mahomes
Kudos to you, House of Mahomes. Deploying a lineup that tallied nearly 201 points in Week 16.
CommandingLeads
Unless CommandingLeads wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a respectable 28 targets in Week 16. With just 15 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
