Coach Talk

Britka Sablja
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Russell Wilson, we quadrupled Homer at the quarterback position this past week (32 points to 8). Wilson went 11-for-17 for 185 yards and four TDs in a 43-16 win over the 49ers.
Homer
Homer may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a whopping 16 targets in Week 13. With just nine total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
