DeMeco Ryans to CJ Stroud after leading the Texans to 2 scoring drives in the final 2 minutes of the 1st half: “Way to lead us right there baby. PUT THE TEAM ON YOUR BACK. That’s it. That’s how it look right there!” pic.twitter.com/KKcHKXY2NG

While the Houston Texans secured a 32-12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, DeMeco Ryans believes the game could have gone a different way. In fact, there was a direct turning point in the second quarter that likely saved the season and allowed Houston to seize momentum just before halftime.

In the first 25 minutes of the Wild Card matchup, the Texans struggled offensively, and it seemed like the situation might worsen when JK Scott punted the ball, pinning Houston at their own one-yard line.
