Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Indianapolis Colts at the wide receiver position (89.4 points to 38.8).
Indianapolis Colts
With only a pair of receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Indianapolis Colts obviously should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
