"Unstoppable last week, running back Christian McCaffrey had a measly 25 yards rushing on eight carries. And the Niners gave up big plays to Houston all day, clearly missing defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Fred Warner, both of whom are out for the season. There was occasional hope for a comeback. That aforementioned first time the 49ers got a first down led to a quick touchdown right before halftime that made the score a seemingly manageable 16-7."
"And it was a touchdown catch by George Kittle on National Tight Ends Day, a meaningless holiday which Kittle helped create. And the 49ers did get their first interception of the season right before halftime, courtesy of cornerback Deommodore Lenoir. Some fans complained that Lenoir did not run out of bounds to save some clock, with Lenoir instead hoping he could run it back all the way for a pick-six right before the half. He ended up fumbling the ball anyway as time expired."
San Francisco 49ers lost 26-15 to the Houston Texans after a sluggish start that saw them score their fewest points of the season and allow 475 total yards. The Niners failed to notch a first down until late in the first half and trailed 16-0 at that point. Christian McCaffrey managed only 25 rushing yards on eight carries. The defense surrendered big plays and missed key players Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, both out for the season. The 49ers briefly rallied with a touchdown by George Kittle and an interception by Deommodore Lenoir before the half, though Lenoir fumbled as time expired.
