Coach Talk

Najee by Nature
Wow, Najee by Nature, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this victory. Not only did you win by nearly 16 points, you also climbed from eighth place to sixth in the league standings... right into the thick of playoff contention
Mahomes Alone
Mahomes Alone will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 17 times in Week 14. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just seven receptions.
