WarEagle hand Brewmasters third consecutive loss in 150.75-119.30 rout

WarEagle cruised to a 150.75-119.30 victory to hand Brewmasters their third consecutive loss. Brewmasters earned a 18.1-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but it was all WarEagle after that. They were led by Davante Adams (9 Rec, 140 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Deshaun Watson (375 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD, 40 Rush Yds). Ben Roethlisberger (30.1 points) and Keenan Allen (17.5) were the leading scorers for Brewmasters in the loss. WarEagle (2-3) will look to sustain their momentum against War Pony, while Brewmasters (2-3) take on Cocks in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

WarEagle
Whoa, WarEagle, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by more than 31 points, you also jumped up a couple of spots in the league standings. Nice work!
Brewmasters
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting RBs for Brewmasters collectively logged just one measly target this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 6!
