Overview

• Starting for the inactive Andrew Thomas, James Hudson committed two unnecessary roughness penalties and two false starts and also allowed a sack on the opening series.
• The infractions erased big gains, including a 50-yard completion to Wan'Dale Robinson, and turned a 16-play, 110-yard drive into a 38-yard field goal.
• CBS Sports Research said Hudson is the first NFL player since at least 2000 to be flagged four times on a single drive.
• Head coach Brian Daboll benched Hudson after the possession and replaced him with rookie Marcus Mbow to start the second drive.
• Broadcast shots showed Hudson visibly upset on the sideline as coaches and teammates tried to settle him down.
