The San Francisco 49ers were held out of the end zone in last week's win over the Chicago Bears. That hasn't been the case against the Houston Texans. Running back Carlos Hyde was the first to get into the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter.

Here is the six-yard touchdown pass from Garoppolo to tight end Garrett Celek:
