Game Preview
In a Week 8 NFL cross-conference matchup, the Carolina Panthers welcome the Houston Texans to Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, October 29th. In their most recent game, the Panthers were defeated 42–21 by the Miami Dolphins. After defeating the New Orleans Saints 20-13 on October 15th, the Houston Texans are seeking for a second consecutive victory.
Naturally, Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, both of the top picks in the previous year’s draft, will certainly be the center of interest. There additionally exist some whispers in the NFL that Frank Reich, the head coach of the Panthers, genuinely desired Stroud; however, the truth about that may never really be known.
Prior to the 2023 draft, Bryce Young was widely regarded as the top quarterback prospect; however, C.J. Stroud has performed better in their inaugural year. Panthers and Young remain in search of their first victory.
With 3 victories in the team’s last 4 contests under rookie QB C.J. Stroud, Houston has emerged as one of the league’s most surprising sides so far this season. The Texans could now make a run for the playoffs with another victory, moving them above .500.
Bryce Young’s debut NFL campaign hasn’t gotten off to the best start. His club is still the only one to win so far, and their most recent setback came in a 21-point loss to the formidable Miami Dolphins. Nevertheless, the team had encouraging signs in the defeat, and after a week off, they might be ready to secure the first win of the season.
That two-week break not only gives some injured players time to heal, but it also gives Carolina time to assign play-calling responsibilities to newly hired offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who will implement a new game plan when the Panthers play in Week 8. Brown, who learned his offensive philosophy from Sean McVay, is using a lot more pre-snap motion and deception to open up space for his wide receivers and take advantage of coverage mismatches.
