Coach Talk

Fools and Horses
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A whopping 36 completions on 41 attempts: good enough for an 88% completion percentage for Patrick Mahomes this past week. The Texans secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Shalabajzeri
Registering just three targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Shalabajzeri should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
