Houston Texans star Kris Boyd has broken his silence after the shocking moment he shoved his own coach during an NFL playoff defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs. Boyd stunned viewers after the first play of the game when he ripped his helmet off, stormed to the sidelines and almost knocked special teams coach Frank Ross to the ground.

Fans immediately called for him to be cut from the team, and now Boyd has spoken to reporters to reveal the reason for his furious outburst. Incredibly, he claims the reason was solely because he 'got too excited', adding: 'I did something I shouldn't have.'.

'Learning from it,' he added. 'Keep my helmet on.'. Boyd then went on to claim he 'loves Frank' - referring to special teams coach Ross - and that the response was 'not in his character'. Chris Boyd shockingly shoved his own coordinator Frank Ross after an early penalty.

'I love everybody here. I love my coaches. I never disrespect anybody. I apologized to everybody. [Ross] told me "Don't worry about that".'. After the game - and the end of the Texans' season - head coach DeMeco Ryans claimed he didn't see Boyd's shove, but called his actions 'silly'.
