Texans players had their fun with Ryan’s comments throughout the week and postgame. In the locker room following the 20-point victory, Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon posted a live video on his Instagram of him and his teammates calling out the coach while smoking cigars in his honor.

After the Texans defeated the Chargers 32-12 behind a dominant defensive effort, the Texans ripped Ryan for his comments. Texans running back Joe Mixon went on Instagram Live and captured him and several of his teammates smoking cigars while blasting Ryan.

After dismissing the Houston Texans’ chance last week, it was time for Rex Ryan to eat some crow. Or in this case, chomp on a cigar. The blustery ex-NFL coach and ESPN analyst issued a mea culpa on air Sunday after saying last week that the Los Angeles Chargers “got a bye” in facing the Texans in Saturday’s AFC wild-card game.
