Coach Talk

Yukai Rex
Assembling a lineup that accounted for more than 90 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to what will surely be a difficult matchup in Week 6.
vampeta
Ruh-roh... Patrick Mahomes managed to throw two interceptions, but couldn't pass for any touchdowns against the Steelers? What do you think, vampeta, should we continue rolling with him as our starting quarterback? Week 6 is approaching quickly and we'll have to make a decision here soon!
