Coach Talk

Silver Bullets
Hey now Silver Bullets, that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 81 percent this past week for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Joe Burrow. That Chiefs secondary didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Silver Bullets is grateful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
Mean Machine
Chin up, Mean Machine! You can take solace in the fact that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Silver Bullets succeed this week... and perhaps one day, they can return the favor and do you a solid.
