Coach Talk

KayCee Chiefs
Listen, KayCee Chiefs, we do admire the confidence. It takes gumption to deploy a player with zero points (Tee Higgins), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Black Knight
Unless Black Knight wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 50 targets in Week 5. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just 30 receptions.
