Coach Talk

Sherlock Mahomes
Well done, Sherlock Mahomes. Nice work fielding a team that won by over 13 points this past week.
Young Hoes Ain't Loyal
Unless Young Hoes Ain't Loyal wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 16. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group managed just 16 catches.
