Crabtree debuts with Niners win
Michael Crabtree makes his 49ers debut, helping San Francisco eek out a 27-25 win over the Texans. And while Crabtree's stats might look insignificant (two receptions, 24 yards), both of his catches came on third down conversions in a heated fourth quarter that helped his team secure the victory.
The game was back and forth throughout as both teams put on an offensive show, trading scores at a furious pace until Crabtree and Shaun Hill finally started to find their rhythm towards the end of the game.
Hill finished his day throwing for 262 yards and two touchdowns, but it's those two first down completions to Crabtree that might just mark the beginnings of a dynamic duo to be reckoned with for San Francisco.
