Coach Talk

That’s Amari
Kudos on assembling a lineup that produced more than 129 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
Rollin’ with Mahomes
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 15. With only 10 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
