Coach Talk

Zack's Unnamed Team
The key to success in football is identifying the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar display by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up SKOL House Rock at the quarterback position this past week (34.9 points to 14.4). Mahomes orchestrated a big win over the Cardinals, completing 30 of 39 passes for 360 yards and five TDs.
SKOL House Rock
"Not getting many chances" can't be an excuse this week for SKOL House Rock. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 21 times in Week 1. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group notched only 13 receptions.
