Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
San Francisco 49'ers
Unless San Francisco 49'ers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 42 times in Week 5. With just 23 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
