Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Las Vegas Raiders at the wide receiver position (55.7 points to 13.3).
Las Vegas Raiders
Hey, Las Vegas Raiders, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? With only 14 total targets this past week, our seven starting pass-catchers (five WR, two TE) obviously got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
