The San Francisco 49ers struggled to get much of anything going during their 26-15 defeat at the hands of the Houston Texans in Week 8.
And head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense bore the brunt of the blame.
The lack of offensive prowess put the Niners in an early hole, particularly with regular 3-and-outs and failing to net a first down until the waning moments of the first half, setting a new infamous record in Shanahan's tenure.
Both sides of the ball have been beset by injuries, yes. And that trend sadly continued for San Francisco in Week 8.
