Coach Talk

Better Mahomes and Gardens
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a stellar outing by Patrick Mahomes, we thoroughly outscored The Mayhem at the quarterback position this past week (39 points to 15). Mahomes went 36-for-41 for 336 yards and two TDs in a 30-24 win over the Texans.
The Mayhem
The Mayhem will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 26 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down only 16 balls.
