Texans' DeMeco Ryans Addresses Sideline Incident Amid 0-3 Season Start

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans is facing a challenging 0-3 start to the 2025 NFL season, emphasizing the need for cleaner play and better ball protection to turn the team's fortunes around. Ryans clarified a widely viewed incident during their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, stating he was not yelling at offensive coordinator Nick Caley but rather addressing officials who were hindering the Texans' up-tempo offense by incorrectly calling a substitution penalty. Despite the rough start and offensive struggles, Ryans remains supportive of his staff and players, expressing confidence in their ability to improve and stressing a collective effort to find solutions. The Texans have shown flashes of promise but have been hampered by turnovers, penalties, and inconsistent offensive production, highlighted by quarterback C.J. Stroud's regression and the offense's below-average performance in points and yards last season. Ryans encourages fans to continue supporting the team as they prepare for a pivotal Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans, hoping to rebound from their disappointing early-season slide. The coaching staff's unity and focus on execution are seen as key to overcoming the current adversity.
