Coach Talk

DaChiefs Miner
You know DaChiefs Miner, the good news is that we took this matchup by 36 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 8 stood at 3,201. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Doogie's Team
Unless Doogie's Team wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 9. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
