In a surprising display of frustration, Houston Texans cornerback Kris Boyd was seen shoving special teams coordinator Frank Ross after the Texans’ kickoff team allowed a long return to start the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The incident occurred shortly after a penalty was called on the Texans during the opening kickoff, which set a negative tone early in the game. Boyd’s actions were caught on camera, raising eyebrows among fans and analysts alike. “It’s just one of those moments where emotions run high in the heat of the game,” Boyd later stated in a press conference regarding his actions. He emphasized that his frustration was not directed at Ross but at the situation itself. The Texans faced substantial challenges throughout the match, ultimately leading to a disappointing 34-23 loss to the Chiefs. Coach DeMeco Ryans addressed the media post-game, acknowledging that while frustrations can flare up in the heat of competition, maintaining composure is crucial. He defended Ross, stating, “Frank’s doing a great job, and emotions sometimes get the best of us.” The Texans’ special teams have faced scrutiny this season, and the incident only adds to the narrative as the team strives to improve.
