Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans earned his first playoff win in his first-ever season leading the franchise, and a glimpse of an interaction with Texans linebacker Christian Harris shows why.
Right before Harris picked off Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco for the Texans defense’s second pick-6 of the afternoon, Ryans walked Harris through how to pull the turnover off in the formation.
It’s the kind of in-game coaching moment that proves that Ryans is one of the game’s brightest minds, one capable of turning a franchise like Houston around after a few years of poor results.
Having quarterback C.J. Stroud definitely helps, but Ryans is a huge driving force behind the Texans revival.
Here’s DeMeco Ryans telling Christian Harris step by step how to pick off Joe Flacco for the Texans 2nd pick six.

The Texans will head to Baltimore to take on the top-seed Ravens in the AFC divisional round, and we’re betting that Ryans will make a big impact on that matchup after his team lost to the Ravens in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season.
Maybe Houston can pull off the upset?
