Coach Talk

Brown Sugar
Whoa, the Texans defense didn't see it coming! 36 connections on 41 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 88% for Patrick Mahomes. We know the GM of Brown Sugar has gotta be thankful for this type of attention to detail.
BigW49
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for BigW49 collectively logged just four targets this past week.
