"It doesn't hurt more than it would if they were undefeated. We got close to winning."

DE Jadeveon Clowney on Jimmy Garoppolo:

"Oh, Jimmy (Garoppolo)? He's good. He nice. He made some nice passes, some accurate passes, got the ball out of his hands fast. He's doing his thing."

Clowney on Hopkins taking the blame for the Texans loss:

"He's the head guy, man. He's the reason why we were in the game. He was catching everything. You know, he made one turnover. I think that was his first turnover all season, which he don't do that a lot. I don't think he should take the blame, that's on the whole team. You can't give up 26 points and expect to win games on defense."

CB Kareem Jackson on the Texans loss to the 49ers:

"We just have to play four quarters. We start out good, something happens and it just kind of goes downhill for us. Some plays that we have to make. I just think it all goes back to playing a complete game. We still have yet to do that. That's what I think it is. In all three phases, we have to play together as a team and put a complete game together."

Jackson on falling to a two-win team:

"I wouldn't say embarrassing. Every team in the league is capable. You go out and you play like (expletive), anybody'll get you. That's just what it is. I wouldn't say it's embarrassing to lose. They're an NFL team too. You go out and you're not playing at the high level the way you're capable of playing, you're going to lose."

QB T.J. Yates on the 49ers double coverage of Hopkins:

"It's tough. You can't really force him the ball when they are bringing a safety down, bringing a safety over top, trailing him from behind. They were doing everything they could to put two and sometimes three guys over in his area. We've got to do a better job of distributing the ball around, because if they do that to him then there should be other guys open."
