Coach Talk

DaChiefs Miner
Putting together a lineup that earned 3,196 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into our Week 5 matchup.
TheNigerianNightmare
Don't get too distraught, TheNigerianNightmare! Listen, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes free points can just magically show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... finding an additional 124 points for you in this matchup probably would have taken some serious wizardry.
