WarEagle eked out a 135.00-132.90 win over War Pony, knocking them out of first place in OklahomIraqis League AFC. It wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicates, as WarEagle led 109.45-46.20 heading into Monday night. War Pony came roaring back behind Kenyan Drake (164 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs) and Josh Allen (122 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 42 Rush Yds). Deshaun Watson (335 Pass Yds, 4 Pass TDs, 26 Rush Yds) and George Kittle (7 Rec, 109 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the way for WarEagle in the victory. WarEagle (3-3) will look to rack up another W against Brewmasters, while War Pony (5-1) match up against Rebel Alliance in an effort to get back in the win column.

Coach Talk

WarEagle
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display from Deshaun Watson, we doubled up War Pony at the quarterback position this past week (43.35 points to 20.3). Watson may not have earned the win for the Texans, but he sure helped us by hitting 28 of 37 passes for 335 yards and four touchdowns.
War Pony
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 36 times in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in just 21 catches.
