What If? The 2014 Texans: Where Watt’s Whiff Wasn’t.

2014 Texans: After the sudden and complete collapse of the Kubiak/Schaub Era, the Texans move forward with Bill O'Brien, previously of Penn State and Offensive Coordinator of the New England Patriots. The talent cupboard is far from barren though, and the Texans quickly bounce back to a 9-7 record, just missing a playoff berth. JJ Watt takes the next step in his great career. He logs his second Defensive Player of the Year Award in 3 years and finishes second in the MVP voting. Given a 20.5 sack season, it is hard to imagine him with many regrets, but there just might have been one.
