The San Francisco 49ers (9-7) shook off a slow start to defeat the Houston Texans (4-12) 23-7 at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.
After struggling to get on track in the first half behind rookie quarterback Trey Lance, the 49ers offense found a rhythm after halftime with several big plays on their way to 20 points.
San Francisco came into the day with a chance to wrap up a playoff spot, however New Orleans was able to defeat Carolina. As a result, San Francisco now finds itself needing to win next week against the Los Angeles Rams to guarantee themselves a spot in the NFC playoffs.
