Texans 100: Facts and figures for Panthers on Thursday Night Football

The Houston Texans take on the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football to kickoff Week 3 across the NFL.

The Texans are coming off a loss to the Cleveland Browns wherein injuries affected frontline starters, including quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who is now on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

Enter Davis Mills, the rookie third-rounder from Stanford, who will make his first career start against a 2-0 Panthers squad that features a stout defense.

“I think they’ve got some pretty stout guys in the middle,” guard Tytus Howard said. “Some pretty fast edge rushers outside. Yeah, they have a pretty talented front seven, powerful inside. Linebackers are fast, edge guys are fast. Going to be a challenge.”

Here are 100 facts about the matchup to get ready for Thursday night.
