Main Storylines to Watch

How will these two teams do off a BYE week? These two teams will be coming off of a bye week. An extra week of preparation for both of these teams should allow them to shine. I expect both of these teams to execute on the offensive end. Neither of these defenses pose a threat and that should make this game fun.

Which Panthers running back will come out on top? The Texans running defense isn’t anything special. The Panthers should be able to find their way with the Texans if they don’t find it in the passing game. Miles Sanders wasn’t active in the Panthers last game which allowed Chuba Hubbard to have a solid day. Hubbard and Sanders split the carries, with the majority going to Sanders. This could be a game where Chuba starts taking majority away due to his explosive performance.

What to expect? Two teams that are going to be executing at their highest rate. There’s no doubt that the Panthers are one of the worst teams in the league, but this BYE could help them in this game. The Texans have something to prove so this is a great game to make a statement. Everyone will have their opportunity to produce in almost all areas on the field. Hot take: Highest scoring game of the week.
