Kyle Shanahan didn’t mince words when he said the Texans “kicked our ass” on Sunday. That was especially true when it came to the 49ers’ defensive front against a Texans offensive line that had hardly been dominant coming in. That San Francisco front was already without Nick Bosa, and it lost two other members to injury at Houston (Jordan Elliott and Sam Okuayinonu). The 49ers didn’t do well up front on offense, either, as the Texans erased the Niners’ run game early and put constant heat on Mac Jones. We’re still in wait-and-see mode with Brock Purdy and his health, but the 49ers need to play better up front, no matter who’s at QB. They’re set to face three pretty good defensive lines in the next three games.
