Coach Talk

Mahomes' Marauders
Nice work deploying a lineup that posted over 204 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 6.
More than a Thielen
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape: Was Trevor Lawrence actually that inaccurate from the pocket, or were the Texans just that good defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll have to make, More than a Thielen, as you set your lineup for Week 6 and beyond!
