Can Texans Win the Game? | Rookie Quarterback from Ohio State

CJ Stroud has emerged as a welcome surprise for the Houston Texans this season. The former Ohio State quarterback has seamlessly transitioned into the NFL, showcasing his prowess in all six games played in his rookie season.

His stats paint a positive picture, with over 1,600 passing yards and nine touchdown passes, overshadowed by just one interception. Stroud’s supporting cast includes talented receivers like Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Robert Woods, and Dalton Schultz.

Tank Dell stands out as the primary target with six receptions, 547 yards, and three touchdowns. Nico Collins is a close second with two touchdowns. However, in the running back department, Dameon Pierce has encountered a sluggish start to the season, with just one rushing touchdown, marking the sole ground touchdown for the Texans this year.

Looking ahead, the Texans find themselves on the road against the Carolina Panthers, followed by a home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Subsequently, they will hit the road again to face the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Texans’ games have been a source of excitement this season, largely due to Stroud’s impressive performance at quarterback.

Can Panthers Win the Game? | Rookie Quarterback from Alabama

On the flip side, there are concerns looming over Bryce Young’s performance. The former Alabama quarterback has had a less-than-stellar start to his NFL career, having been sacked 16 times in five games and throwing four interceptions.

Young also missed a game, resulting in Andy Dalton taking over at quarterback. While Young’s best outing featured three touchdown passes against Miami, it was marred by two interceptions.

The run game has also not offered substantial assistance to Young. Miles Sanders, the former Eagles running back, has had limited impact on the ground, managing just one touchdown and two lost fumbles. In a recent game, Sanders was sidelined, allowing Chuba Hubbard to take the reins in the backfield, with 242 yards so far this season.

For the Panthers, the quest for their first win of the season continues, with this matchup against the Texans and a home game against the Indianapolis Colts on the horizon. 

Following that, the Panthers are scheduled to participate in a Thursday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears on November 9th.

While the Panthers’ record may appear inconsequential given their struggles, they are determined to secure a victory at some point during the season, likely in a game they’re not expected to win.

However, that win is not anticipated to occur in this particular matchup. The Texans have demonstrated a solid start and will approach this game with focus and determination.
