DeMeco Ryans admits Texans could have played Cowboys’ final TD better

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans addressed the team's defensive breakdown during the Dallas Cowboys' game-winning touchdown in Week 4. Ryans explained that Houston was running man coverage with a single-high safety when wide receiver CeeDee Lamb scored the decisive touchdown, admitting that the defense failed to play tight enough coverage to make the final stop.

Ryans emphasized the need for better execution, cleaner communication, and complementary football moving forward. Despite dropping to an 0-4 record, he noted that the team plans to open practice windows for Tank Dell, Braden Smith, and Kayden McDonald ahead of their matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
