4 key matchups for Panthers vs. Texans in Week 8

The Panthers have a few talented pass catchers to deal with in Week 8, including the exciting Tank Dell. Oh, and Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud are going head to head.

The Carolina Panthers had an awful first six weeks of the season, coming out as the NFL’s only winless team over a miserable opening stretch. So hopefully for them, the seventh week (their bye) helped bring some much-needed answers.

And if that is indeed the case, then here are four key matchups that’ll help them finally win in Week No. 8:

Texans offensive line claims No. 15 in Pro Football Focus rankings

The Houston Texans offensive line inched its way to No. 15 in the latest Pro Football Focus rankings entering Week 7.

The Houston Texans offensive line has had its depth tested since the second week of training camp, but the five-man unit continues to find ways to thrive.

According to Zoltan Buday from Pro Football Focus, the Texans’ offensive line ranked as the 15th-best blocking unit entering Week 7. Largely the Texans’ placement in the top half of the NFL is due to their pass-blocking, wherein Houston is ranked sixth-best in the league.

After allowing 10 pressures in the first two games of the season, right guard Shaq Mason has surrendered just two over the past four games. He has allowed pressure on 1.5% of dropbacks over that span, which is the fourth-lowest rate among guards.

PFF considers left tackle Laremy Tunsil to be the best player on the offensive line with an 88.2 pass-blocking grade, which is the third-best among tackles the past two weeks.

What has helped the Texans is, not only the return of Tytus Howard, but the serviceable play of tackle George Fant. Houston is able to leave Fant at right tackle and use Howard’s versatility to plug left guard, where they have played Josh Jones and Kendrick Green following the season-ending injury to second-year guard Kenyon Green.

Run blocking remains an area for improvement. The Texans have the third-lowest yards per carry in the NFL at 3.2.

Texans inch to No. 16 in Pro Football Focus Week 6 offensive line rankings

The Houston Texans offensive line managed to take some territory near the top of Pro Football Focus’ power rankings.

One of the positives for the Houston Texans heading into 2023 was their offensive line. Regardless of whether C.J. Stroud won the quarterback battle with Davis Mills, the offense surely would benefit from having a blend of quality veterans at four of the five starting positions.

Injuries took their toll, and Houston slowly had to work from having just one intended starter in right guard Shaq Mason in Week 2 to a nearly restored Week 5 lineup that saw Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil return and right tackle Tytus Howard use his versatility to man left guard.

According to Zoltan Buday from Pro Football Focus, while the Texans gave away victory in their 21-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons Oct. 8, Houston’s offensive line put together a noteworthy performance; something to build on in coming weeks.

The Texans’ offensive line recorded the highest pass-blocking efficiency rating in Week 5 after allowing just three pressures on 35 dropbacks.

Stroud completed 20 passes on 35 attempts for 249 yards and a touchdown despite Houston falling to 2-3 on the season. The Falcons landed just two quarterback hits, but weren’t able to drop the No. 2 overall pick for a sack. In fact, Stroud has not taken a sack since Week 2.

Where the Texans’ offensive line could stand to improve is in the run game. The Texans are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the lowest yards per carry in the NFL at 3.0.
