The 49ers (8-7) should rely on their run game and avoid turnovers to avoid an upset against the Houston Texans (4-5).
, as they’ll definitely factor into the 49ers’ home finale Sunday against the Houston Texans.
With Garoppolo ailing, the 49ers have to have a quarterback ready to lead them, and Trey Lance is expected to get his shot, 12 weeks after his only start of an otherwise quiet rookie season. “In the run game, I’m expecting us to go out there and play Niner football. Not a lot of teams run the ball the way we do,” George Kittle said.
So, the 49ers could, yes, mix in Lance, but they also still could platoon Jeff Wilson Jr. with Deebo Samuel, the latter of whom is their leader in receptions and also rushing touchdowns . The Texans are allowing 141.3 yards per game. Only the Pittsburgh Steelers are yielding more. “Also, just for his sake, I was like, ‘Listen, this is your opportunity to take chances and develop in that part of your game. Take a chance. See if you can fit the ball into tight spaces. Can you throw on the run and complete a pass down the field?’ ”
“They’re always around the ball and punching at it,” tight end George Kittle said. “We’ve always said that turnovers have been our kryptonite, the thing that keeps our offense from being what it should be. We’re focused on these guys are good at getting the ball out. They’ve had multiple games with five . That’s very impressive.”
