Coach Talk

Clay's #1 Team
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed flawlessly. And the final result? A spectacular 36 connections on 41 attempts... good enough for an 88% completion percentage for Patrick Mahomes this past week. The Texans secondary didn't stand a chance!.
