Ryans Stands By OC Nick Caley as Texans' Offensive Woes Mount, Stroud Urged to Improve

Houston's coach ruled out a coordinator change after the 27-19 loss to Seattle.

Overview

  • The Texans fell 27-19 to the Seahawks on Monday night as C.J. Stroud went 23-of-49 for 229 yards with one touchdown and one interception, posting a season-low 46.9% completion rate.
  • DeMeco Ryans said he is pressing forward with Nick Caley and the current staff and added that Stroud must run the offense more efficiently and get the ball out on time.
  • Houston’s offense ranks 21st in scoring at 21.2 points per game and 23rd in total offense at 304.3 yards per game, converting just 30.7% of third downs.
  • Protection and rushing breakdowns in Seattle included 17 pressures allowed, three sacks and only 31 rushing yards, contributing to a 3-for-19 mark on third- and fourth-down tries.
  • Stroud accepted responsibility for the performance, said it was not his best, affirmed confidence in himself and the scheme built on short, precise gains, and turns to a short week against the 49ers.
