HOUSTON (AP) - Steve Slaton scored two touchdowns and the
Houston Texans built a big lead then held on for a 24-21 win over
the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The Texans led 21-0 at halftime then withstood a rally led by
backup quarterback Alex Smith. Eugene Wilson's interception on
fourth down halted a last-gasp drive by the 49ers (3-3).
San Francisco benched Shaun Hill after a terrible first half,
and Smith threw three touchdowns to Vernon Davis to close the gap.
Michael Crabtree started in his NFL debut and had five receptions
for 56 yards.
The Texans (4-3) won consecutive games for the first time this
season.
