The San Francisco 49ers entered their Week 8 matchup against the Houston Texans as favorites and lost. Here were the worst performers from the loss.

The Houston Texans jumped on the San Francisco 49ers early in an impressive bounce-back performance Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston. The Texans’ 26-15 win was their first over San Francisco since 2009.

In a virtual must-win situation, the Texans' offense piled up the yards against the 49ers while the defense held firm for much of the game.

When the San Francisco 49ers finally picked up a first down Sunday against the Houston Texans they were already down by 16 points and there was less than a minute left in the first half.

With Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins out with a concussion and slot Christian Kirk sidelined with a strained hamstring, the Texans still got a lot of production out of their passing game.

The Texans arguably played one of their better games of the season and Houston's Week 8 report card reflects that.

The San Francisco 49ers have been winning games with the next man up mentality. They have been able to get by with the depth and the talent that they do have st

HOUSTON – Christian McCaffrey was bottled up, surrounded by the Texans’ relentless defense armed with motivation and the knowledge of just how pivotal the star running back is to the San Francisco 49ers’ offense. McCaffrey didn’t have much, if any, breathing room to operate during the Texans’ 26-15 win Sunday at NRG Stadium.

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.

Hunter had a statement day for himself in the process of the Texans' Week 8 victory. The veteran edge rusher logged his fourth sack of the year in the fourth quarter of the game on Jones to secure Houston's third win of the season, and effectively keep them just one game under .500 entering the halfway point of the new year.
