Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Hey Kansas City Chiefs, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 50 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 3 stood at 231.46. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our seven pass-catchers (six WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 34 times in Week 4. With just 19 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
