DeMeco Ryans hit the big one on Monday morning and Houston Texans fans are celebrating him both before and after practice.

The Texans’ defense has a clear path to being elite, and it starts with forcing even more turnovers in 2025. Last year, the Texans had a +10 turnover differential, but an elite team like the Buffalo Bills had a +24 to lead the league. The closer the Texans are to that margin, the closer they’ll be to where they want to be at the end of the season.

Giving opportunities to others is what DeMeco Ryans has always believed in, but he wants to do more when it comes to responsibilities for his Texans staff.
