Although this is the 49ers' third loss of the season, their Week 8 defeat to the Houston Texans should raise some alarm bells. The season is by no means over. With a 5–3 record, the 49ers are still in a favorable position,

The San Francisco 49ers have been struggling with injuries all season, and it finally caught up with them. On Sunday, they lost 26-15 to the Houston Texans.

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud passed for a season-high 318 yards and Houston outgained San Francisco in total yardage 475-223. As rough as parts of Sunday were, the 49ers had their chances to make it a more competitive ball game and just fell short.

There were a couple of good things, plenty of bad, and enough ugly from the 49ers in Week 8 against the Texans.
