Coach Talk

Ricky
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A staggering 25 completions on 31 attempts: good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Joe Burrow this past week. The Chiefs secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Highland Bashers
Highland Bashers will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 13. Chemistry seems to be a problem, as that group hauled in just 13 catches.
