When DeMeco Ryans became the head coach of the Houston Texans in February 2023, he introduced the acronym S.W.A.R.M. -- Special Work Ethic and Relentless Mindset -- as a motto that the Texans would be expected to bring to the field with them each week. Since then, it's become a rallying cry for the roster and the organization as a whole, and on Thursday night, it was on full display against the Buffalo Bills.
In front of primetime audience to kick off Week 12, the Houston Texans defense swarmed Bills quarterback Josh Allen from start to finish, putting and keeping the reigning NFL MVP under duress all night long in what ended up being a 23-19 Texans win.
