Coach Talk

Cincinnati Bengals
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Kansas City Chiefs at the wide receiver position (74.76 points to 32.3).
Kansas City Chiefs
With only one reception on four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Kansas City Chiefs should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
