Kris Boyd shoves special teams coordinator Frank Ross after a penalty on the opening kickoff

A long kickoff return by the Chiefs to start Saturday’s playoff game prompted Texans cornerback Kris Boyd to remove his helmet and throw it. The subsequent sending-off flag was only the beginning.

Cameras caught Boyd with a push with two hands to special-teams coordinator Frank Ross near the sideline.

While Houston’s defense stiffened and held the Chiefs to a field goal, it will be interesting to see how the Texans handle Boyd crossing the line with Ross.

Boyd signed with the Texans in 2023. He appeared in 17 games during the regular season, primarily as a special teamer. He had 365 special teams snaps and 48 defensive snaps in the regular season.
