Flash forward six days later, back at home at NRG Stadium, back to knocking people down and creating enough time for quarterback C.J. Stroud and open holes for the running game, it was an entirely different mood altogether for the Texans’ offensive line.
San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey dominated the Atlanta Falcons' defense while the NFC South team's offense had no answers.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. How did it affect their standing heading into Week 8?
The problem has been kickoffs. Pineiro followed his third-quarter field goal with a line-drive kickoff the Falcons returned 45 yards to the 49ers’ 48-yard line. The play gave Atlanta momentum, and the Falcons converted it into a 10-yard catch-and-run touchdown to Robinson to close San Francisco’s lead to 13-10.
The 49ers still aren’t sure if Brock Purdy will play against Giants, but surface at MetLife Stadium will not be a factor.
