The Houston Texans defense had an excellent defensive stand to start the game, but when the Carolina Panthers finished their second drive, that wasn’t the case.
Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold, in his third game as Carolina’s quarterback after a handful of seasons with the New York Jets, led his new team down the field and finished the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to cap off a 10-play, 88-yard drive.
The Houston Texans defense showed some of their weaknesses in their secondary, especially this week with the unit not having safety Justin Reid in this Week 3 game because of a knee injury.
