Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

The Houston Texans will host the San Francisco 49ers for their Week 8 matchup, live from NRG Stadium. The Texans come into this matchup with a 2-4 record, sitting third in AFC South. Their recent contest against the Seattle Seahawks came in a loss, and not much has went right for the Texans this season. Offensive and defensive lapses combined with injuries, has been a recipe for disaster but there is still a lot of games remaining for them to turn their season around.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers have stayed resilient this season, with their backup QB Mac Jones and star RB Christian McCaffrey finding ways to win the game. They are 5-2 for the season so far and are leading the NFC West. Their recent victory against the Atlanta Falcons came after McCaffrey scored 2 TDs. The 49ers also got back their TE George Kittle from the injury that he was going through and there are reports suggesting that their WR Brandon Aiyuk will also come back soon.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
