Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Nice work, Brewmasters. Bravo on fielding a team that won by over 15 points in Week 15.
War Pony
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for War Pony. Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) collectively got a healthy 24 targets in Week 15. With only 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
