The Houston Texans are returning to defensive fundamentals this week as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers. After a stretch where the unit struggled, coaches have emphasized a reset on the basics of tackling, gap integrity, and communication.
The move comes following the Texans' game against the New York Giants on October 25, 2026, where kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn connected on a 58-yard field goal in the first half at Reliant Stadium. The Texans' defense will look to improve its performance ahead of the upcoming matchup.
The report was filed by Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle on November 6, 2026.
