DeMeco Ryans prepares Texans for home opener against Buffalo Bills

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans has called for his team to prioritize on-field performance as they prepare to host the Buffalo Bills in the season opener. Following three consecutive exits in the AFC Divisional Round, Ryans stated that the time for offseason talk is finished. The coach expressed satisfaction with the team's training camp preparation but emphasized that execution remains the primary requirement for the upcoming campaign. The Texans face an immediate personnel challenge as wide receiver Tank Dell was placed on injured reserve leading up to the game. Houston looks to improve its postseason history, having never reached a conference championship game despite consistent success in the regular season. Kickoff against Buffalo serves as the first indicator of the team's progress.
