    49ers stick to their strategy as trade deadline passes without a move

    The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday, and the 49ers stood pat with the roster they have.

    The 49ers bounced back in a big way with a statement win over the New York Giants. San Francisco was laser focused in all three phases, never looking back after taking a second-quarter lead. The 49ers' offense was humming all afternoon, scoring a season-high 34 points while Christian McCaffrey added a pair of touchdowns along with 173 total yards. San Francisco's win didn't come without cost, as 2025 first-round draft pick Mykel Williams went down with a knee injury late in the fourth quarter.

    49ers' slow start stunts comeback in Week 8 loss to Texans

    The 49ers came into Week 8 knowing the Texans' defense was elite, but it was Houston's struggling offense that took over Sunday at NRG Stadium. Heavily scrutinized QB C.J. Stroud executed a sound game plan for the Texans, while 49ers teammates George Kittle and Jake Tonges each caught a touchdown on on national Tight Ends Day to keep San Francisco's comeback hopes alive. San Francisco's offense lacked much rhythm beyond that, and the disjointed display effectively ended in a 26-15 loss, their third of the season. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down what went wrong with San Francisco on both sides of the ball, which injuries will further affect the 49ers' depleted depth and how they can turn a performance like this around in Week 9 vs. the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. -- 2:00) 49ers start sloppy on both sides of ball (4:00) Injuries continue to mount for 49ers (10:00) Deommodore Lenoir breaks interception drought (17:00) Is this the most injury-ravaged roster in the Shanahan/Lynch era?
