Coach Talk

Simmons
Assembling a lineup that earned 124.5 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into what's sure to be a particularly tricky Week 4 matchup.
Rollin’withMahomes
Logging three receptions on only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Rollin’withMahomes should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
