Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien responded to a heckler during halftime of the club’s 38-24 loss to the Denver Broncos on Dec. 8, 2019.
In a video obtained by TMZ, during halftime of the Week 14 game at NRG Stadium, when the Texans trailed the Broncos led by rookie quarterback Drew Lock to the tune of 31-3, a fan yelled to O’Brien, “You suck!”
O’Brien, who was a little ways inside the tunnel, turned back to yell back at the fan in what turned into a profanity laced tirade. O’Brien can be heard still giving the fan his best material as he makes his way further towards the locker room, even after receiver DeAndre Hopkins tried to encourage his coach to keep walking.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, it isn’t the first instance of O’Brien using colorful language, as he was seen on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” using profanity during the 2015 series.
The Texans finished the season 10-6 with an AFC South championship. On Jan. 4, the Texans beat the Buffalo Bills 22-19 in overtime of the AFC wild-card at NRG Stadium. Houston takes on the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday at 2:05 p.m. CT at Arrowhead Stadium with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line.
