DeMeco Ryans, the Texans' defensive play-caller since 2021, altered his usual strategy during their recent victory over the Chicago Bears. In a standout performance, the Texans pressured Bears quarterback Caleb Williams extensively, resulting in seven sacks and showcasing a striking shift from their earlier philosophy.
The Texans, now 2-0 for the first time since 2016, relied heavily on their defense to secure the win as their offense struggled. Key players like Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. excelled in turning up the pressure against Williams.
The Texans' defensive line proved remarkable, generating consistent pressure that stymied Williams’ ability to make plays. The team's defensive prowess has raised hopes for a dominant season ahead.
