Coach Talk

The Professor
Getting the win is most important, The Professor, but we also know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting QB was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Patrick Mahomes went 25-of-40 for 318 yards and one touchdowns for Aish's Team, and all Justin Herbert could manage through the air was 209 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 14!
Aish's Team
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 13. With just eight total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
