Coach Talk

Ken's Bears
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, Ken's Bears. Our QB was thoroughly overmatched this past week. Deshaun Watson went 22-of-28 for 294 yards and two touchdowns for Brendan's Bold Team, and all Andrew Luck could manage through the air was 192 passing yards. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 16!
Brendan's Bold Team
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Brendan's Bold Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 15. With only 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
