The Houston Texans<\/a> will host the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> 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. <\/p>

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.<\/p>
