Shoutouts
Bobby Wagner led the team in tackles again this week and also did a steady job in pass coverage.
D.K. Metcalf – Not an overwhelmingly great week, but his 64 receiving yards was 43 percent of the total, and he had a touchdown.
Second Honorable Mention – Alex Collins
Carson wasn’t producing, so the Seahawks gave his backup Alex Collins more work. It was a move that paid off handsomely. Collins ran for 44 yards on 10 carries and added another 34 on a pair of receptions.
It was his fourth quarter 14-yard touchdown run that put the final nail in San Francisco’s coffin. Collins made a nifty cutback, then exploded through the hole, virtually untouched, to get to the end zone. Exactly what the Seahawks needed when they needed it.
First Honorable Mention – Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson didn’t light up the stat sheet, but he had a classic RW3 game. His protection was below adequate all day, so Russ did what Russ does best, improvise. He made plays.
A great example was his touchdown run in the third quarter. San Francisco flushed Wilson out of the pocket. He went left and took off down the side for a 16-yard score. On the next drive, Russ spun away from a would-be pass rusher, found some space, and threw a bullet to Freddie Swain in the end zone.
He's running, he's diving, and @DangeRussWilson is IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!
