Texans' Kris Boyd Apologizes for Shoving Coach During Playoff Game

Boyd expressed regret after an emotional outburst led to a penalty and a sideline altercation with special teams coach Frank Ross in a loss to the Chiefs.

Houston Texans cornerback Kris Boyd shoved special teams coordinator Frank Ross during the first quarter of the team's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The incident followed Boyd's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for removing his helmet after mistakenly believing the Texans had recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans downplayed the shove, stating it was not done in a disrespectful manner but emphasized the need for players to maintain composure during games.
Boyd apologized to Ross and the team, describing the incident as out of character and reaffirming his respect for Ross and the coaching staff.
The incident sparked heated reactions online, with some fans calling for disciplinary action against Boyd, while others defended his emotional reaction as part of the high stakes of playoff football.
