Q. Since you guys are together, Deebo, can you talk about what you saw from Brandon today and his game, and Brandon, the same for Deebo.

DEEBO SAMUEL: I think it all turned around for Brandon, as he said in the media, I think like three weeks ago when him and Kyle had that talk. You can just see a different type of B.A. Not afraid of nothing. Just got his confidence back and just go out there and ball out on Sundays. It happens day in and day out all week long.

BRANDON AIYUK: (Laughing). We saw the running back Deebo this week, I guess you could say. Got some touches. Looked natural as a running back, but, yeah, we just saw Deebo. We're used to that by now.

Q. Deebo, how do you like being a running back?

DEEBO SAMUEL: I don't got nothing against it. Whichever way you get the ball in my hands, I'm all for it. Kind of natural back there, not going to lie.

Q. George Kittle was saying that he has been talked to about playing running back, but he doesn't want to go in there and get hit by all those big dudes, and you don't have any issue with that. Is part of it just the idea they can't stop you from getting the ball if you're playing running back?

DEEBO SAMUEL: Honestly, if I'm in the backfield, I'm really looking to bounce it. But if I can't bounce it, I've got to stick my nose in there. Yeah, it's just kind of natural, just got the body to be a running back, but like I told one of the coaches, I said don't get too many ideas just to transfer my position (laughter).

Q. Was that today?

DEEBO SAMUEL: Yeah.

Q. How badly do you guys want to see Trent Williams get a touchdown?

DEEBO SAMUEL: Bad. Bad. He came into practice early in the week, and he said I'm about to start doing receiver individual. I was like don't come over here and waste your time (laughter).

Q. Brandon, how is your chemistry with Jimmy, and how has it progressed as the season has gone on?

BRANDON AIYUK: A lot. I think just talking with him and all quarterbacks really, but just getting a feel for what they're looking for from us and every route and just during the course of the game. Just I think we have good chemistry but just continue to build on that.

Q. The fact that he is looking for you on some of those third downs including the touchdown, what does that mean to you?

BRANDON AIYUK: I mean, that's huge. That's big. We know third downs, those are big for us. We're trying to stay on the field. So for him looking for me on third down, I think that and converting, I think it just gives us both a lot of confidence.
