Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has spoken about the team's tackling difficulties as the franchise sits with a 2-5 record. The comments come as the Texans seek to correct defensive lapses that have contributed to their slow start.
A photograph from the September 20, 2026 game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Reliant Stadium shows Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair bringing down Bengals halfback Chase Brown in the third quarter. The play highlights the kind of defensive execution the coaching staff is aiming to replicate more consistently.
