SAN FRANCISCO - Embattled Texans quarterback Matt Schaub might be better off hitting the road and getting out of Houston for the weekend. Many of his so-called supporters are practically calling for his head. Or, at least, for backup T.J. Yates. A big sign above one freeway blares "Cut Schaub!" Watch the game live on TSN. Coverage begins at 7pm et/4pm pt with Football Night in America. "Any loss is painful and you dont enjoy it," defensive end J.J. Watt said. "We have a very good football team. Theres no issue with focus or intensity at all." Schaub has thrown pick-6s in three straight games. "I dont have time to really even process any of that because its on to the next one in our world," Schaub said. "You dont have time to look in the rearview mirror and think about your past, good or bad." Now, things get even tougher as they visit Candlestick Park to take on the San Francisco 49ers (2-2). "We expect him to go out there and prepare for us all week as if his life relies on it," 49ers safety Donte Whitner said. "Right now, if he goes out there and makes more mistakes, it probably will." San Francisco understands all the scrutiny and sense of panic from fans. It was crisis mode for the 49ers until they snapped a two-game losing streak with a 35-11 road rout of the Rams. That after being held to 10 total points in the first consecutive losses of coach Jim Harbaughs tenure. "The fact of the matter in the National Football League is you lose a couple of games in a row, youre in a rut, youre in big trouble," Whitner said. "They can say that about us a couple weeks ago when we lost a couple in a row, and it was true. Same thing goes for the Texans." Here are five things to watch for in Sundays prime-time matchup: NO IDENTITY CRISIS HERE: Just when everybody began questioning the NFC champion Niners defence — a unit missing linebacker Aldon Smith as he undergoes treatment for substance abuse, and injured All-Pro Patrick Willis — the group came back with a big performance. With NaVorro Bowman leading the way in Willis absence, San Francisco returned to that swarming, run-stopping defence that has defined the team in recent seasons. Bowman had five tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble against St. Louis. "The last couple years thats what this team has been built on, stopping the run and running the football," defensive end Justin Smith said. "It just seems like that St. Louis game, thats our calling card, thats our identity." GORE ON A ROLL: Harbaugh is all about getting the ball to Frank Gore. No criticism of his touches now. Not after the 49ers franchise rushing leader gained 153 yards on 20 carries with a touchdown at St. Louis. Gore typically builds off a big game. "I think its a positive. I think Frank knows who he is as a player and what hes capable of," Harbaugh said. "We know hes capable of that. He knows hes capable of that. And our offensive line knows hes capable of that. No question that everybodys inspired by what he does. Nobody does it like Frank Gore." MENACING MR. WATT: J.J. Watt has drawn comparisons to San Francisco counterpart Justin Smith for the way they each wreak havoc on opposing offences. Harbaughs assessment: "He can ruin a game for his opponent." This week, Watt is nursing a broken nose that needed six stitches. "Theres going to be blood," Watt said. "Im not out here doing cheerleading." Watt certainly appreciates the compliments and comparisons with fellow All-Pro Smith. "I have a lot of respect for Justin Smith, I love the way he plays the game, love the way he goes about his business," Watt said. PRIME-TIME FOLKS: These teams draw their share of prime-time opportunities. Thats how it goes for the two-time defending AFC South champion Texans and the two-time reigning NFC West champion Niners. San Francisco has lost its last two Sunday night games, both at Seattle. The 49ers are playing their third prime-time contest in four games, while Houston makes its second such appearance of 2013. "Its a big game for us," Schaub said. "We need to get those weeks out of our system and we need to get a win — whether its home, away, at a neutral site, against whoever." DAVIS HANDS: Vernon Davis remembers plenty from the last time the 49ers played Houston nearly four years ago. The tight end, then in his fourth NFL season, had his first three-touchdown game in the 24-21 loss. Davis is San Franciscos second-leading receiver this season behind Anquan Boldin, with 11 catches for 136 yards and three touchdowns. ____ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org Fans burned Schaubs jersey after the Texans (2-2) failed on two overtime opportunities in a demoralizing 23-20 home defeat to unbeaten Seattle last week.

DENVER -- This time, the Sacramento Kings enjoyed their trip to Denver. Isaiah Thomas scored 33 points, Rudy Gay had 32 and the Kings used 39 third-quarter points to race past the Nuggets 109-95 on Sunday night. DeMarcus Cousins added 27 points for the Kings, who snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. It was Sacramentos first win in Denver since a 118-115 victory on April 5, 2008. The Kings have won three of their last four games overall, including both ends of a back-to-back. "The third quarter kind of dictated the game," Thomas said. "We were getting stops and we got out and ran. Thats when were at our best, when were in transition. We were in attack mode. Rudy started it off, DeMarcus got easy buckets and I just got what they gave me. I was making open shots. We played a helluva third quarter." Randy Foye and Evan Fournier each scored 27 points for the slumping Nuggets, who lost for the seventh time in the last eight games. The Nuggets fell to 1-5 without leading scorer Ty Lawson, who missed a sixth game because of a fractured left rib. "We basically controlled the whole first half, did what we wanted to do, and then we came out and gave up 39 points in the third quarter. Thats unacceptable," Foye said after Denver managed just 18 points in the third. "Its tough, man. But weve got to stay together, weve got to keep fighting and keep believing; dont give in. Thats the main thing. Everybody goes through times like this during the season. Its important for us to continue to fight, to keep pushing." Down 58-51 after Foye hit a pair of 3-pointers in the third, the Kings responded with a 21-2 run that put them in front 72-60 with 4:55 left in the period. Gay scored nine points in the decisive stretch, including consecutive three-point plays.dddddddddddd Cousins hit a couple of jumpers and Thomas twice connected from 3-point range, with Kenneth Farieds mid-range jumper accounting for Denvers only points during Sacramentos surge. "I wouldnt say it was the best quarter we put together all year but it was pretty good," Gay said. "We got back defensively, Fournier was hurting us in the first half, we got out and guarded him. They still hit a couple of tough shots but for the most part we attacked, got to the foul line and found the open man." The Kings carried an 87-70 lead into the fourth quarter. A 3-pointer by Wilson Chandler pulled the Nuggets to 94-84 with 6:41 left, but the Kings scored the next nine points, including another three-point play by Gay. The Nuggets opened a 13-point lead midway through the second quarter. Fournier connected on two 3-pointers and Jan Vesely, making his home debut after being acquired Thursday from Washington, broke through for a pair of dunks. Sacramento pulled to 52-48 at halftime, outscoring the Nuggets 8-1 in the last 2:10 of the second quarter, with Gay driving for a dunk to close the spurt.
