Houston Texans cornerback Kris Boyd stunned the NFL audience on Saturday when he threw his helmet and shoved his special teams coach after the first play of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Boyd was able to chase down Chiefs wide receiver Nikko Remgio to stop a potential opening-play touchdown. He stripped the ball loose only for the Chiefs to recover. He couldn’t seem to get his emotions in check and ran to the sideline ripping off his helmet and shoving Frank Ross to the ground.

Boyd thought Houston recovered the fumble. There was also a penalty flag on the field as he was disciplined for removing his helmet.

"I was just too excited, did something that I shouldn’t have done. Learning from it," Boyd said. "Keep my helmet on."
