The Texans struggle defensively again in 27-21 overtime loss to Giants

The Houston Texans fell to a 2-5 record following a 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, driven by persistent defensive breakdowns. Houston surrendered a season-high 188 rushing yards, culminating in a swift three-play drive by the Giants in overtime that ended with a game-winning 30-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans lamented his team's poor tackling and execution, emphasizing that the defense must focus on fundamentals rather than relying on last season's league-leading form. Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and defensive end Will Anderson echoed the need for consistency, while Giants running back Cam Skattebo contributed 124 rushing yards during the victory.
