Overview
- Deommodore Lenoir intercepted C.J. Stroud with 11 seconds left in the first half, ending San Francisco’s NFL-record run of 14 games and 469 opponent pass attempts without a pick.
- Lenoir caught the ball near the 49ers’ 44–45 yard line and was tackled at the Texans’ 30 as time expired, forfeiting a chance for Eddy Piñeiro to attempt a long field goal.
- Lenoir said he was trying to score and acknowledged he should have slid once the return stalled, noting he was not fully aware of the remaining time.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the sequence underscored the need for better situational awareness and called it a learning opportunity for the team.
- The previous mark for consecutive games without an interception was 11 by the Giants last season, and the 49ers’ last pick before Sunday was by Isaac Yiadom in Week 11 of last year.
