Coach Talk

Cleveland Steamers
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to an awesome outing by Patrick Mahomes, we nearly tripled Physis Right at the quarterback position this past week (39.1 points to 13.63). Mahomes went 36-for-41 for 336 yards and two TDs in a 30-24 triumph over the Texans.
Physis Right
Unless Physis Right wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 28 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be the primary problem, as that group pulled down just 17 balls.
