HOUSTON (AP) — When the San Francisco 49ers finally picked up a first down Sunday against the Houston Texans they were already down by 16 points and there was less than a minute left in the first half.
They did better on offense after that, but their bad start proved too much to overcome in a 26-15 loss.
“First half was tough because we had like 12 plays in the first half until that last drive,” veteran tight end George Kittle said. “We didn’t do anything to help our defense in the entire first half.”
