Overview

• Houston’s 17-10 loss to Jacksonville leaves the team 0-3 with just three touchdowns all season and an offense last in scoring at 12.7 points per game and 267.3 yards.
• C.J. Stroud has 599 passing yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions through three games, including two picks Sunday as protection issues persist.
• DeMeco Ryans defended offensive coordinator Nick Caley and the roster but said being competitive is not enough, stressing the need to finish fourth quarters.
• Ryans clarified that a heated sideline moment was directed at officials for slowing Houston’s tempo, not at Caley.
• Next up is a home game against the 0-3 Titans before a trip to Baltimore, with cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. day-to-day with an oblique injury.
