DeMeco Ryans announces he's taking over defensive playcalling duties (0:34)

Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday that he will be taking over the defensive playcalling duties amid his team's 0-4 start.

He said his decision shouldn't be viewed as a "slight" on defensive coordinator Matt Burke.

The Texans entered the 2026 season among the Super Bowl contenders in the AFC but are instead off to their worst start to a season since 2020.
