Panthers beat the Texans 15-13 for the first of the year. https://t.co/wf1uBQ0HsD
This is golden. Johnny and Eddy are the best. https://t.co/4LH2RNRaWj

Penalties pouring down on the Texans. They kept moving Eddy Piñeiro closer and making him kick it again. 23 yard attempt, he makes it, and the Panthers win.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
15-13 Panthers over Texans. They win their first game of the year.
5 seconds left, Eddy Piñeiro's coming on to kick for the Panthers' (potentially) first win of the season.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Chuba Hubbard just keeps making progress on the Texans' defense right now. Carolina's inside the 20 with the game clock dwindling, down just 1 point.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Bryce to Thielen for a big fourth-down conversion.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
John Hussey said Bryce slid late, didn't get the same protection on that hit.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
The crowd does not agree with his assessment.
Rushing differential is pretty steep. Houston's run it 30 times for 110 yards, Panthers at 17 attempts for 27 yards.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Two sacks on that drive, and the Panthers punt again. Bryce Young has taken five today.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Texans' offense will set up at midfield after Johnny Hekker punted from the end zone.
Frankie Luvu is THAT guy, has been that guy and will continue to be that guy.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Frankie Luvu is beat all to hell, has to wear a red jersey in practice to remind himself to ease up, but keeps making plays.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
A run stop, followed by breaking up a pass in coverage. He's all over the place.

— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) October 29, 2023
The Panthers started the fourth quarter with 21 net rushing yards on 16 attempts.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Panthers will start the fourth quarter right at the 50 and down by 1 point to the visiting Texans.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Blackshear returned the ensuing kickoff 52 yards.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
A little juice.
Justin Houston has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return. Panthers are another pass rusher down.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
After a strong goal-line stand, CJ Stroud sneaks it over on fourth-and-1.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Texans lead 13-12 after a failed two-point conversion.
Texans take it to fourth down and get into the end zone. Another long drive, 12 plays and 75 yards. They're going for 2 to make it 15-12.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Good to have ya back X‼️

Frankie Luvu batted down a pass, third of the day for the Panthers.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
CJ Stroud was the tall one.
Eddy Piñeiro makes the 37-yd field goal after the Panthers recover the fumble. Extends the lead.

Donte Jackson forces a fumble.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Xavier Woods recovers.
The break the Panthers badly needed, taking over at the Texans 27.
Eddy Piñeiro is good from 46 yards out, and the Panthers take the lead.

Bryce to Mingo for 40.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Second-longest completion of the season.
Pep: "It feels so good to be home."
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Large cheer.
As he said last night, "I was happy to finish here, where I should have been the whole time." https://t.co/ibqVqhJFIJ
Panthers TD, Bryce Young to Tommy Tremble. Eddy Piñeiro missed the XP.

Back-to-back first downs to Stephen Sullivan and DJ Chark, of course.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Chark made up for a pretty egregious drop.
DJ Chark caught that one, and the Panthers are back near the end zone. Ball at the 18.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Texans are helping the Panthers out. Of Carolina's 5 first downs, 2 have been via penalty.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Big sack for Burns on third down.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
His fifth of the year.
In the red zone with 5 yards to go, the Panthers ran three Hubbard runs (3 yds, 1 yd, -1 yd) and then threw an incomplete pass to Thielen on fourth down.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Fourth down, 2 yards to the end zone, and the Panthers do not score. Incomplete to Thielen.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
10-play, 64-yard drive ends in a turnover on downs.
Fourth down pass to Thielen incomplete, after Hubbard stopped for no gain and loss on the previous two plays.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
A promising opportunity and nothing to show for it.
Bryce makes a way and Thielen makes the grab 😤 pic.twitter.com/BQgjNyvOKj
— Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) October 29, 2023
Young avoids rush, steps up, hits Thielen for 31.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Little long for our first Young-to-Thielen connection.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Raheem Blackshear hadn't been up before Miles Sanders and then Laviska Shenault's injuries, but he's been the reason BofA has gotten loud twice today. 30 yard return.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
No TD for Dameon Pierce, he was stopped short at the 1. Texans get it to the fullback Andrew Beck on the ensuing play, TD.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Very long scoring drive, 17 plays, 92 yards, over 9 minutes off the clock.
HST 7, CAR 0 | 13:13 2Q
Upon review, short of the goal line.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
Texans get on the board first, with an apparent 2-yard touchdown run.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
They're reviewing it though.
Good run-stop by DJ Johnson. They're going to need that with YGM on IR.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
John Hussey: "This is the end, ...
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
(pregnant pause)
"Of the first quarter."
Felt ominous.

Explosive Raheem Blackshear play. Mark that one off the bingo card!
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
That's a second-straight PBU against CJ Stroud on third down.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Big defense early here at BofA.
And now DeShawn Williams bats down a pass.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
CJ Stroud was the tall one.
Burns blew up the run play, but didn't wrap the tackle (others were there to help). Early play for a guy who was questionable on the injury report.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 29, 2023
The Panthers are mixing and matching people on defense, as you might imagine. Deion Jones getting base linebacker snaps, Jammie Robinson getting some of the Jeremy Chinn reps as the run-down nickel.

Messy penalties already hurting the Panthers – on top of a big sack early. They're at their own 1.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) October 29, 2023
Texans offense goes three and out to start. Derrick Brown broke up CJ Stroud's third-down pass to end that drive
