Coach Talk

Rollin’withMahomes
Earning the win is most important, Rollin’withMahomes, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting running backs were thoroughly outmatched by the opposition. Nick Chubb (54 total yards, no TDs) and Rachaad White (77 yards, no TDs) combined for just 15.1 points in Week 14. Jamaal Williams and Miles Sanders doubled us up with a score of 31.7. Let's put some more effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Simmons
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Simmons collectively logged just one reception on four measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 15!
