Texans struggle offensively in loss to Panthers, finish preseason winless

The Houston Texans finished their preseason with a 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on August 28. Third-string quarterback Brett Rypien had two turnovers, including a critical fumble late in the game. The Texans' offense, led by Davis Mills and Rypien, failed to establish any rhythm, leading to their first winless preseason in franchise history. Carolina's Miles Davis scored the decisive touchdown with just over five minutes remaining. Next, the Texans will trim their roster to 53 players by Sunday and prepare for the season opener against the Buffalo Bills on September 13.
