Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was asked after the Kansas City loss if he thought O'Brien was the right man for the job.
"You may have a doubt, but I don't have a doubt," said Watson. "I love that man. i'm going to play hard for that man. You may write about him though all the media and all the writings, but as long as I'm at quarterback, he has my heart. He's going to get my 110 percent when I step on that field. But I'm always going to be rooting for that man and going to play hard for him."
