Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Listen Kansas City Chiefs, the good news is that we won this matchup by 30.56 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 9 stood at 208.13. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Chicago Bears
With only one reception on three measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Chicago Bears should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
