Coach Talk

Titletown Champs
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A whopping 25 connections on 31 attempts... good enough for an 81% completion percentage for Joe Burrow this past week. The Chiefs secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Parrotheads
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 23 targets in Week 13. With just 14 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
