The Houston Texans picked up their first win of the season with a 30-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
In their first game since the firing of Bill O'Brien, Deshaun Watson completed 25-of-35 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns against two interceptions — the team's biggest offensive output this season.
Following the win, star defensive end J.J. Watt tweeted that he is finally having fun, which could also be seen as a shot toward O'Brien.
FUN!

Finally!!!#HTine
The Texans fired O'Brien on Friday and it was later reported that he got in a heated argument with Watt and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver on the practice field along with altercations with other staff members during his final weeks before being fired.
After the Texans fired O'Brien, Watt also tweeted a photo of the field at NRG Stadium. With no caption accompanying the photo, one could infer that he was glad to see O'Brien exit, starting a new era of Texans football.
On Sunday against the Jaguars, Watt recovered a fumble and assisted on two tackles.
