On Thursday, it was reported that San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans is a "top candidate" for the Denver Broncos' head coach job. The Broncos interviewed Ryans on January 19.
According to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Ryans is also a "top candidate" for the Houston Texans' head coach job. The Texans interviewed Ryans on January 20, and the two sides will meet again at some point next week, after this weekend's NFC Championship Game contest between the 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.

When the San Francisco 49ers kick off against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, eight days will have passed since their last game, a 41-23 Wild Card win over the Seattle Seahawks. Only six days will have passed for the Cowboys since their previous game, a 31-14 Monday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
San Francisco, the home team, has an obvious advantage with two extra days to recover and prepare for this weekend's postseason clash. However, it's something that the team's head coach believes is sometimes overemphasized.
"I think it can be an advantage. Sometimes it can be a disadvantage," Kyle Shanahan told reporters on Wednesday. "I know the obvious ones—that you get less rest, less time to recover."
