Taylor Heinicke (196 Pass Yds, 2 Pass TDs, 10 Rush Yds) and James Conner (75 Rush Yds, 36 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) carried the flag for the last dance in defeat. This marks the second time this season BerniesBandits have taken down the last dance, after winning 148.15-144.55 in their last matchup. BerniesBandits (8-5) will look to notch another win against the last dance, while the last dance (3-10) attempt to get back in the win column against BerniesBandits.

Coach Talk

BerniesBandits
Wow, the 49ers secondary didn't stand a chance! 30 connections on 37 attempts... good enough for an 81% completion percentage for Russell Wilson. We know the GM of BerniesBandits is grateful for that attention to detail.
the last dance
the last dance may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 28 times in Week 13. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group reeled in just 17 receptions.
