The San Francisco 49ers return to Levi's Stadium to face an AFC South opponent for the second-consecutive week in the Houston Texans. Houston and San Francisco have squared off four times in the regular season, with the 49ers owning a 3-1 overall record against the Texans, including wins in each of the last two matchups.

WR Brandon Aiyuk registered four catches for 40 yards and one touchdown. Jeff Wilson Jr. finished with 14 carries for 45 yards and a one-yard touchdown.

Defensively, San Francisco held the Titans to 278 total net yards of offense. DE Samson Ebukam registered four tackles and 1.5 sacks and has tallied 0.5-or-more sacks in three-straight games for the first time in his career.
