On the eighth Sunday of the NFL's 2025 season, 33 players from Alabama high schools and colleges (excluding Alabama and Auburn) got on the field.

The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) triumphed 27-19 over the Houston Texans (2-4) in a game that wasn't as close as the scoreboard indicated. Seattle struggled to get out of their own way, committing four turnovers -- their most in a game since 2020.

The 49ers offense sabotaged the defense and the defense failed to set up the offense in one-sided loss to Texans.

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.

Kyle Shanahan admitted the Texans "kicked our a**" after a 26–15 drubbing in Week 8, dropping San Francisco to 5–3.

With star receiver Nico Collins out Sunday against San Francisco, the Houston Texans needed someone to step up to make up for his absence.

Playing without Nico Collins and Christian Kirk it was easy to wonder what receiver could make plays for C.J. Stroud. It turns out, literally all of them could against the 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers will face the Houston Texans in Week 8 of the NFL season on Sunday at NRG Stadium. The San Francisco 49ers (5–2) are set to face the Houston Texans (2–4) at NRG Stadium. Quarterback Mac Jones will start in place of Brock Purdy,
