Texans' Defense Aims to Limit Big Plays

Midway through the third quarter of their Week Two game at Carolina, the Houston Texans were tied with the Panthers, 10-10. In the time that remained, each team would embark on one extended, 80-yard touchdown drive. The possession that made the difference in the end, however, was just one play long.

In the fourth quarter, Carolina linebacker A.J. Klein intercepted a Ryan Mallett pass that was intended for tight end Garrett Graham, giving the home team possession at the visitors' 36-yard line. On the next snap, Cam Newton threw deep down the middle to Philly Brown for a touchdown that made the score 24-10.
