Texans' Kris Boyd breaks silence on coach-shoving incident: 'I was just turnt'

He talked about the incident after the game.

"I got the ball out," Boyd said. "And as I'm getting up, I look at the screen, I see nothing but white and they're all pointing that way. So I was like, 'Oh yeah, we got the ball, too. Turnover.' And I was just turnt."

Boyd thought Houston recovered the fumble. There was also a penalty flag on the field as he was disciplined for removing his helmet.

"I was just too excited, did something that I shouldn't have done. Learning from it," Boyd said. "Keep my helmet on."

Boyd said he apologized to the team after the incident and had no ill-will toward Ross.

"He told me, 'Hey, listen, don't worry about that,'" Boyd said. "We had a whole ballgame to play, but I was just trying to get my point across. Like I said, I'm not that type of person."

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, who didn't see the shove, denounced the incident.

"What I saw is we can't come out on the first play and throw our helmet," Ryans said. "That's not what we teach. That's not what we're about at all."
