Coach Talk

49erFaithful
Good work, 49erFaithful. Kudos on deploying a team that blew the opponent out by over 21 points this past matchup.
Futbolistas
Futbolistas will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 29 times in Week 15. With just 16 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
