49ers' slow start stunts comeback in Week 8 loss to Texans
The 49ers came into Week 8 knowing the Texans' defense was elite, but it was Houston's struggling offense that took over Sunday at NRG Stadium. Heavily scrutinized QB C.J. Stroud executed a sound game plan for the Texans, while 49ers teammates George Kittle and Jake Tonges each caught a touchdown on on national Tight Ends Day to keep San Francisco's comeback hopes alive. San Francisco's offense lacked much rhythm beyond that, and the disjointed display effectively ended in a 26-15 loss, their third of the season. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down what went wrong with San Francisco on both sides of the ball, which injuries will further affect the 49ers' depleted depth and how they can turn a performance like this around in Week 9 vs. the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.--2:00) 49ers start sloppy on both sides of ball(4:00) Injuries continue to mount for 49ers(10:00) Deommodore Lenoir breaks interception drought(17:00) Is this the most injury-ravaged roster in the Shanahan/Lynch era?(21:00) NFC West Standings check(24:00) Should Brock Purdy play on artificial turf in his first game back?(25:00) Is there offensive calvary on the way?
