Coach Talk

Chiefs Fan
Kudos to you, Chiefs Fan. Good work fielding a team that registered 207.7 points in Week 16.
L-Diggity
L-Diggity will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 15 targets in Week 16. With just five total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
