Hasselbeck, Seattle’s anchor at quarterback for nearly a decade, saw the first play of the game — a pass intended for Nate Washington — get deflected into the arms of Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner and returned 23 yards for a touchdown.
Texans 26, Panthers 13
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Matt Schaub led one scoring drive and threw an interception in his first action since breaking his right foot last season, and the Houston Texans beat the Carolina Panthers.
Schaub completed three passes for 52 yards on Houston’s opening drive, including a 22-yard strike on third down the seam to Owen Daniels to set up a field goal.
Cam Newton’s night also was short and not all that productive for Carolina. Newton finished 2 of 6 for 17 yards.
