HOUSTON - Houston Texans Head Coach Bill O’Brien apologized on Friday after a video surfaced showing him shouting expletives at a heckler.
“I was made aware of a video that’s out there. At the halftime of the Denver game, coming off the field, I used inappropriate language and I just want to apologize for that,” O’Brien said while addressing the media on Friday.
