Coach Talk

Black Knight
Mission accomplished, Black Knight. Putting together a lineup that won by nearly 82 points this past week.
KayCee Chiefs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 16. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 18 balls.
