Coach Talk

TheNigerianNightmare
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Chiefs 205 at the wide receiver position (868 points to 278).
Chiefs 205
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 32 targets in Week 13. With only 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
