DeMeco Ryans acknowledged the challenges his offense faced against the Bears, particularly in their running game, attributing part of the struggle to the Bears’ ability to disrupt the Texans' blocking schemes. He praised his center, Jarrett Patterson, for stepping up in place of the injured starter and emphasized the need for improved consistency and execution in the running game. Ryans expressed confidence that, despite the difficulties, the team can refine their approach and maintain the momentum built in their earlier success against the Colts.

Houston Texans: Why running game struggled against Bears

The Houston Texans achieved a hard-fought 19-13 victory against the Chicago Bears, marking their first win on Sunday Night Football since 2019 and a 2-0 start for the first time since 2016. Despite their earlier success, their running game struggled, particularly after Joe Mixon suffered an ankle injury that hampered his performance.

Head Coach DeMeco Ryans noted the Bears' adeptness in disrupting their blocking schemes, which caused confusion among the players. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik attempted to shift from a zone to a power run scheme, but execution issues resulted in disappointing yardage.

As they prepare for their next game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Texans must refine their running game and improve blocking consistency in order to regain the effectiveness they displayed in Week 1.
