The Texans, hot off an extremely disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, come back to Houston to host the San Francisco 49ers in another tilt against a difficult NFC West opponent that could decide the Texans season. This is the first home game for the Texans since their victory over the Titans, and they’re desperate […]
The Houston Texans ran the most plays (16) and took the most time off the clock (9:39) on their opening drive against the San Francisco 49ers.

In absolutely terrible news, the Falcons announced on Sunday with the release of the inactive players list that LB Divine Deablo has been placed on injured reserve with the forearm injury he suffered in Atlanta’s Week 7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. That loss was frustrating, but for me, the most upsetting part was […]
The San Francisco 49ers will look to begin their second winning streak of the season. After winning the first three games of the season, San Francisco has rotated wins and losses since Week 4. Coincidentally, that was also the last time we saw Brock Purdy. If recent history tells us anything, this might be a […]
It’s nearly time. Kirk Cousins is under center, the Atlanta Falcons are seeking their fourth win at home, and the shaky Miami Dolphins are coming to town.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside. My apologies to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer but it feels like a week where we have to go on because we have to go on. Both the Texans, and us Texans fans. Last week was […]
The 49ers drafted Mykel Williams 11th overall with the expectation that — while he had work to do to improve as a pass rusher — he would instantly improve their run defense. Williams might not be immediately jumping off the screen week on week but, as the 49ers head into their Week 8 meeting with […]
This most consistent thing about this Falcons team is that you can count on them to always be inconsistent. Following one of the most impressive wins you can get on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, their mistake-riddled performance against the completely banged up San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football saw them drop […]
Texans offer enticing matchup for 49ers’ ailing defense: ‘You definitely see opportunities’ (paywall) “It could help that the 49ers will meet an offensive line with the NFL’s 22nd-best pass-blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus. “You definitely see opportunities,” 49ers defensive lineman Mykel Williams said. “But you’ve also got to create your own opportunities.” As […]
Saying the Houston Texans have been a mess on offense would be an understatement. It feels like the coaching staff is getting worse as the weeks go on, and while it might not be something that gets fixed overnight, the Texans still have some talent on the roster to get things moving in the right […]
Once upon a time, we believed things were improving for the Houston Texans. Last Monday changed that for a lot of Texans fans. I know I speak for myself when I say that the prospects for this team have taken a significant downward turn. But the season rolls on and some of us still want […]

Gipson was promoted to the active roster last weekend during a flurry of moves to save his third and final standard elevation, […]
The San Francisco 49ers defense has returned to dominance seven weeks into the season, where they stand with a 5-2 record atop the NFC West. That has come, despite the 49ers losing stars Fred Warner and Nick Bosa for the season, while dealing with various injuries and starting multiple first and second-year players. San Francisco […]
The San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans meet on Sunday in Houston, and there is no shortage of familiar faces and history.

Michael Penix Jr. was hoping to play this week, and even optimistic that he might, despite suffering a bone bruise in the course of being beat up by the 49ers pass rush last weekend.
