Texans
W 26-15 vs 49ers · Oct 26, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Texans fans daring to enjoy a 26-15 beatdown of the 49ers while loudly refusing to buy in again.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Stroud spent the afternoon picking apart the 49ers in chunks — 50 yards to W.Marks, 44 to J.Noel, then touchdown strikes to J.Higgins and X.Hutchinson — and for once the Texans put a game away instead of letting it curdle. The fanbase is split between "we are so back" and refusing to be fooled again, which feels about right. The real test is whether this team can do it twice in a row.
