First Quarter
The game began with both teams displaying solid defensive strategies. The San Francisco defense was active early on, with Deommodore Lenoir making an interception that set up an opportunity for the offense. However, despite this promising start and Mac Jones completing key passes including a touchdown throw to George Kittle, the Niners couldn't capitalize further in this quarter.
Second Quarter
As play continued into the second quarter, Christian McCaffrey made significant contributions on both rushing and receiving fronts but was unable to break through for any touchdowns. The Texans' defense held firm against repeated attempts by Jones and his receivers like Jauan Jennings who managed four receptions totaling 45 yards.
Third Quarter
In the third quarter, Thomas Morstead's punting skills were put to test as he consistently pinned down Houston within their own territory with three punts inside their 20-yard line. Yet again though, offensive drives led by Jones fell short due largely due to pressure from Houston’s defensive line which resulted in two sacks over him during critical moments.
