Houston Texans (2-2) at San Francisco 49ers (2-2)

The Texans aren’t as bad as they’ve looked in the past two weeks. They led a very good Seattle team 20-6 at home before failing to close it out (so much for their 7-0 record in games decided by a touchdown or less meaning they “know how to win”) and against Baltimore, they were pretty even in first downs, yards, and punts. Baltimore just won by 21 because of two return touchdowns. However, they weren’t nearly as good as they looked coming into the last 2 weeks. They’ve now been outscored by 13 points over their last 17 games. This is the definition of a pedestrian team.

The 49ers, meanwhile, started out slow, but that was probably a fluke. There is no shame in getting blown out in Seattle and the Indianapolis game could have easily been a fluke. They looked as good as I knew they were against the Rams and they should continue playing that well going forward. Things will only get better as they are expected to get Patrick Willis back from injury this week. They certainly have the talent to blow out Houston here.
