How to Watch 49ers at Texans: Stream NFL Week 8 Live, TV Channel

With Brock Purdy still out, Mac Jones once again leads the San Francisco 49ers this week. He’ll get the start on the road against the Houston Texans.

Week 8 in the NFL includes an interconference matchup between the San Francisco 49ers (5-2) and the Houston Texas (2-4). Despite a constant stream of injuries the 49ers have continued to roll. That’s thanks in part to the play of quarterback Mac Jones, who has been the starter since Week 3 since Brock Purdy suffered a toe injury. Jones, a 2021 first-round pick of the New England Patriots, is 4-1 in his starts. He’s thrown for 280.8 yards per game, which leads the NFL heading into Sunday.

Among Jones’ favorite target is running back Christian McCaffrey, who with 53 receptions has more than double the catches of the next-closest player on the 49ers roster. Jones has also shown chemistry with wide receiver Kendrick Bourne, who he played with in New England. Bourne signed with the Niners earlier this year after being cut by the Patriots out of training camp.

Last week, Jones and the Niners beat the Atlanta Falcons 20-10 on Sunday Night Football. That was their only home game in a four-game stretch – they played two on the road before that, and now visit the Texans and Giants in back-to-back weeks.

They will get a Texans team coming off of a short week. Houston played the late game on Monday night, and fell 27-19 to the Seattle Seahawks. That ended a two-game winning streak the Texans had going into their bye week.
