49ers Studs and Duds: Deommodore Lenoir's game-shifting blunder just one of many in Niners loss to Titans

Then again, there was truly nowhere for the Niners to go but up after the first 29 minutes of the contest. For a few, fleeting moments, the Niners' H-Town showdown with the Texans was a contest. For the rest of the game, it was a lopsided beatdown reminiscent of an early-season college football game between a blue-blood program and a directional school that was bused in for a blowout game and a nice check.

3 takeaways from the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Denver Broncos

Jude McAtamney missed two extra points after missing one against the Eagles. That proved to be the difference, especially when he missed the PAT after Jaxson Dart gave the Giants the lead on a 1-yard touchdown run with 37 seconds left. Honestly, when it came off the foot, I thought it was good, McAtamney said. Went for it, looked up and it was wide right. I was as shocked as everyone else.

Rangers rout Pens, Fox scores pair of goals

"Special teams was good," Fox said. "The PK [4-for-4 with a shorthanded goal] was great. The power play [2-for-4] wasn't great, but you find a way - you put some pucks on net and get some goals. And, you know, I think sometimes that's just how the power play goes. You put it to the net and get some. But we definitely cleaned up a lot, 5-on-5, there in the second period."
