2020 was supposed to be the ultimate chapter in the Bill O’Brien saga with the Houston Texans.
After years of a power struggle with former general manager Rick Smith and an unfortunate series of injuries, O’Brien had seemingly acquired everything that he wanted.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson was healthy, J.J. Watt was healthy, a franchise left tackle in Laremy Tunsil had been acquired, and O’Brien finally had full control of the roster. He just needed to execute that off-season to put the finishing touches on a team that many in Houston thought had the potential for a Super Bowl. Besides they had only been one epic collapse against the Kansas City Chiefs away from the AFC Championship.
