Coach Talk

Pain and Suffering
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed flawlessly. And the outcome? A whopping 36 completions on 41 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 88% for Patrick Mahomes this past week. That Texans secondary didn't see it coming!.
The Outlaws
Talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for The Outlaws collectively registered four receptions on only five targets this past week.
