TRADE! The 49ers are sending the Patriots a 2026 sixth-round pick and receive a 2026 seventh-round pick and defensive end Keion White.

Notable PFF grades from yesterday Offense: Trent 81.3, best player with >10 snaps on offense, he's taken a step back this year but still playing very well. Mac 78.8, PFF has tended to like Mac more than the efficiency numbers have, I don't really agree with the PFF grades.

QB comparison, Mac Jones has come back to earth last couple weeks, though big drop by Jauan didn't help these numbers. Stroud picked the 49ers defense apart

Mac Jones picked and that'll do it. Tough loss on the road. 49ers will be 5-3.

Tonges and Kittle both open there in the end zone, Tonges TD! Great response by the offense

Better by Jauan, great contested catch there

Mac needs to recognize the free play there, just throw it man

Jauan...

Stroud to Hutchinson TD, both safeties in coverage. Bad defense. 23-7 Texans

Mustapha getting juked by Dalton Schultz on 3rd down really sums up the day

I've seen the 49ers secondary run into each other at least two times today

49ers defense get a stop on 3rd down challenge

Yeah the pressure is getting to Mac way too fast, but also Mac has gotta read these blitzes quicker.

49ers special teams!

First INT of the season! DMooooo

GEORGE KITTLE

BREAKING: the 49ers have a 1st down

Never thought I'd see Brian Robinson Jr returning kicks. Definitely never thought I'd see it working

49ers pass rush looks bad and they're playing maybe the worst pass blocking line in football, should've traded for a pass rusher weeks ago

Higgins touchdown, unclear if Bethune was supposed to pick him up or Winters should've dropped with him.

*whispers* play Chase Lucas

Inauspicious start for the offense

6-0 Texans after 1, just where we want em

Alright the 49ers defense might be in trouble

Will Anderson destroying McVitz on that 3rd down

Weaaaak facemask penalty on Jauan, takes away a Mac Jones (?) first down run

Great tackle by Ji'Ayir there to stop them on 3rd down

Mustapha back, just rocked Higgins on that catch

Expected the 49ers to have trouble rushing the passer, despite the Texans OL being poor, but they need to stop the run, can't let 100 year old Nick Chubb run well.

Purdy and Pearsall officially ruled out for Sunday

In case you need a visual to describe how injured the 49ers are.

Every week "49ers should get Purdy back next week" *Next week* "Purdy unlikely to start this week, should be ready for next week"

Bryce Huff to miss two weeks with a hamstring injury

PFF grades for last night's win Offense Luke Farrell 90.8, hasn't been great. Brendl 83.2, Hennessey 66.6 after taking over, not sure this comparison matches the eye test. McVitz 81.6, playing much better this year. Mac 75.9, perfectly cromulent. Jauan 54.7, not good last night, injury-related?

QB comparison, the numbers don't look great but it was a quality performance from Mac. Made some plays when needed.

Christian McCaffrey is on pace for 1,253 RECEIVING yards

Kyle Shanahan? Genius. Robert Saleh? Mastermind. 49ers are 5-2 and atop the NFC West.

Penix incomplete on 4th and 10, 49ers ball.

Bethune having himself a game

That's a fumble, don't care what the nerds say

Chase Lucas fumble recovery?? (It's under review)

We built the whole ship out of him and he delivered

Jauan has to get more of a body on him there.

Screaming at Mac to throw it away and he runs for 8 yards

Let's goooo, MASSIVE stop on 4th down as Chase Lucas breaks up the pass

Ugh, DRob almost had that

First CMC 100 yard rushing game since 2023!

49ers have to make a stop on 3rd and 13 there. Big blown opportunity.
