Silver lining from 49ers-Texans: The streak of games without an interception has been snapped
And with that, Deommodore Lenoir is the hero snapping that streak. It took the 49ers until Week 8 to finally notch their first interception of the season. Between that and their celebration of Nati onal Tight End Day, you have all the necessary highlights of the Texans’ loss.
San Francisco fans seemed to flood NRG Stadium in a large showing for the Week 8 game, according to videos and photos shared on social media by local reporters and fans present at the stadium. The kickoff at Noon CT showed plenty of 49ers' scarlet and gold. Houston's "battle red" and "deep steel blue" was more scattered throughout the stadium.
Hunter had a statement day for himself in the process of the Texans' Week 8 victory. The veteran edge rusher logged his fourth sack of the year in the fourth quarter of the game on Jones to secure Houston's third win of the season, and effectively keep them just one game under .500 entering the halfway point of the new year.
The Texans face the 49ers in a virtual must-win game for their playoff hopes. We'll have updates and anlysis throughout the day from NRG Stadium.
Instead of having to settle for another field goal, C.J, Stroud and Xavier Hutchinson hooked up to put the 49ers in a deeper hole.
The Texans are without two of their top wide receivers, Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. Also out for Houston are offensive tackles Trent Brown (the cousin of 49ers rookie defensive tackle Alfred Collins) and Jarrett Kingston (2024 sixth-round pick by the 49ers), defensive end Darrell Taylor, and quarterback Graham Mertz.
