Coach Talk

Trigger
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a awesome display by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Chief at the quarterback position this past week (38.92 points to 19.34). Mahomes went 33-for-46 for 478 yards, six TDs, and three INTs in a 54-51 loss to the Rams.
Chief
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Chief collectively recorded only two catches on five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 12!
