Texans HC DeMeco Ryans sends message to Chiefs after Divisional loss

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has led his team to the Divisional game in consecutive seasons, but the team lost to the Kansas City Chiefs this time. The former standout defensive player congratulated his former head coach and the Chiefs during his postgame press conference on Saturday.

“For me, it is the frustration on all three phases. It is special teams, defense, and offense. We didn’t get it done. Congrats to Andy (Reid) and the Chiefs.” said Ryans. “They deserve it. They have done a great job over the past few years of being consistent, and that is why they have been champions: they consistently get the job done. No matter how the game goes, they find a way to close games out. Congrats to those guys, and I wish them the best moving forward.”

Ryans notably played under Reid during the 2012 season when Reid was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. On Saturday, the league’s oldest coach notched his 300th career victory, joining rare air in the NFL’s all-time coaching ranks.
