The Houston Texans ought consider a blast from the past as they evaluate candidates for their coaching vacancy.
One candidate to consider would be San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, whose unit put on a dominant effort in the NFC wild-card against the Dallas Cowboys on Jan. 16.
The 49ers defense held the Cowboys, who were the NFL’s No. 1 scoring offense (32.1 points per game) and No. 1 offense (407 yards per game), to 17 points and 307 yards as the 49ers preserved victory 23-17 at AT&T Stadium.
