Coach Talk

Tampa Bay Ducks
We're curious if the GM of Tampa Bay Ducks was feeling a bit squeamish this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by a mere 2.94 points, Chase McLaughlin (3-of-4 on the day) decided that going 4-for-4 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Kansas City Chiefs
So, Kansas City Chiefs, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Accumulating only 22 targets combined this past week, our six starting pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
