Coach Talk

Hou Texans (GA)
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We made that a point of emphasis by tripling Seattle Seahawks at running back this past week (15 points to 5).
Seattle Seahawks
With only three receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Seattle Seahawks should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
