CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bryce Young edged C.J. Stroud in a battle of the NFL's top two draft picks, and Eddy Pineiro made a 23-yard field goal as time expired as the Carolina Panthers beat the Houston Texans 15-13 for their first win of the season. Young, the No. 1 overall pick, threw for 235 yards and a touchdown. He led a winning 15-play, 86-yard drive that took more than six minutes off the clock. The Panthers snapped a 56-game losing streak in games they trailed at any point in fourth quarter, the longest in NFL since at least 1991. Carolina's last fourth-quarter comeback win was Oct. 21, 2018, against the Philadelphia Eagles. Stroud was 16 of 24 for 140 yards and ran for a touchdown for Houston.
