Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
Nice job assembling a lineup that netted 147.6 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done.
Brewmasters
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Brewmasters. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 46 targets in Week 14. With just 27 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
