Rebel Alliance extended their win streak to four games with a convincing victory over Brewmasters, cruising to a 132.80-95.25 win.

Mike Williams, who caught 6 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, did his part for Brewmasters in the loss. This marks the first time this season Rebel Alliance have taken down Brewmasters, after falling 128.4-113.6 in their last matchup.

Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
Listen, Rebel Alliance, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant.
Brewmasters
Fortunately, Brewmasters, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Going with Treylon Burks in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this behind us and move on.
