The San Francisco 49ers have been struggling with injuries all season, and it finally caught up with them. On Sunday, they lost 26-15 to the Houston Texans.

The 49ers fall to 5-3 after losing to the Texans, slipping in the NFC playoff picture but still holding the final Wild Card spot entering Week 9.

One reason the 49ers didn't get flagged is because pulling is a penalty that NFL officials almost never call. According to Football Zebras, the last time a player got penalized for pulling a teammate came all the way back during a playoff game in January 1991, so it's been almost 35 years.

Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL and MCL in October 2024. Due to the injury occurring mid-season, the star receiver has yet to make his return in 2025. Though the 49ers' pass catcher has received unfortunate updates through his recovery, Lynch has now provided a much different outlook.
