The Houston Texans offense made a big stop against the Carolina Panthers, and in doing so they kept their opponent from adding to their lead, while forcing a turnover on downs.
Carolina opted out of kicking a field goal on fourth down near the end zone. Instead, Panthers head coach Matt Ruhle went for a first down on fourth-and-1, and that’s where Houston’s defense stepped up big-time and made a play that could change the outcome of the Week 3 game.
Houston has had their high moments and low moments so far on Thursday Night Football in Week 3, but to be honest this stop was a surprise, but a welcome one, as Carolina did not have running back Christian McCaffrey on the field.
