When the Texans were 0-3, there was a speckle of hope that Bill O’Brien would be fired. Another loss, with this team, with this amount of talent, would kill all playoff hopes, something that would be inexcusable for the top-line talent and relative health the Texans have had at several positions.
Then Bill O’Brien started running the super cool offense. You know, the one we saw when Deshaun Watson was under center last year before he got hurt. Romeo Crennel started to generate a pass rush by doing the things that worked back in 2016.
