Coach Talk

The Bills Collectors
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling display from Patrick Mahomes, we quadrupled Pogues Mahone at the quarterback position this past week (190.8 points to 47.4). Mahomes went 25-for-34 for 423 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 44-23 win over the 49ers.
Pogues Mahone
Unless Pogues Mahone wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" can't be an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) collectively received a hearty 30 targets in Week 7. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 17 receptions.
