HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans’ troubles this season began months before they played their first game.
Star quarterback Deshaun Watson requested a trade last January before 22 women filed lawsuits alleging sexual harassment or assault. The issues kept Watson out all season and precipitated a rebuild that led to a second straight terrible season for the Texans.
The Texans lost 28-25 to the Titans on Sunday to end the season 4-13 after finishing 4-12 a year before.
The tough season has led to questions about coach David Culley’s future with the team after just one season.
