On today’s episode of Locked On Texans, we’re diving DEEP into the defensive clinic Houston put on Sunday night. This wasn’t just a good game. This was Demeco Ryans’ masterpiece — a complete shutdown of a Kansas City offense averaging 25 points per game.

Here’s how the Texans did it 👇

🔥 Texans Defensive Dominance:

Held Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to 10 points

Only 70 YAC yards allowed — KC’s 3rd lowest of the season

Just 8 passing first downs, the second lowest they’ve had all year

Mahomes finished with a negative EPA per dropback (-0.41)
This defense didn't bend. It flat-out slammed the door shut.

But offensively? Different story.
Houston scraped out 2.6 yards per carry, and Marks finished with 68 yards on 26 carries. And in the second half? We saw exactly what went wrong…

Chris. Jones. Happened.
Houston had -2 rushing yards on 4 carries in the third quarter.
Marks’ yards before contact? -1.75.
He wasn’t getting met at the line — he was getting met in the backfield.

When the passing offense stalled, the run game couldn’t bail them out. But even on a tough night offensively, the Texans’ defense carried them across the finish line.

So we have to ask…
👉 Should Demeco Ryans be in the Coach of the Year conversation?
👉 Should Matt Burke be considered for Assistant Coach of the Year?

Tap in for the most in-depth, straight-up breakdown of Houston’s statement win.
