Carolina Panthers 15, Houston Texans 13

In a battle of the first three picks in the 2023 NFL draft and the battle of the two first Quarter backs taken off the board, the offenses for both teams couldn’t seem to put it all together in a game that saw the Panthers come out on top 15-13 in a defensive game for most of the game C.J. Stroud struggled to find the passing lanes. The run game wasn’t there consistently. The Texans’ defense was the story of this game, as they held the Panthers to 15 points and had a crucial stop in the first half. Still, in the end, the offense couldn’t move the ball downfield and gave the Panthers too many chances and, in the end, head into week nine against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 3-4 record.
