"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."
"The studs and duds might, however: STUDS Brian Robinson RB The running back's 46-yard kick return in the final minute of the first half was a catalyst for the 49ers in a game where and I mean this almost literally nothing was going right. San Francisco didn't have a first down to that point. A few snaps later, the Niners scored a touchdown."
San Francisco lost 26-15 to Houston in a game that quickly became a lopsided affair. The Texans did not punt until the final minutes of the fourth quarter and outgained the 49ers by roughly double the yardage. San Francisco had no first downs in the opening half until a Brian Robinson 46-yard kickoff return set up a touchdown. George Kittle hauled in an impressive touchdown catch. Dee Winters played actively before suffering an injury. Siran Neal excelled on special teams as a gunner and jammer. Deommodore Lenoir followed an interception with a reckless return that undermined its value.
