Bill O’Brien has presided over an up-and-down season as coach of the Houston Texans, and on Sunday it appeared the stress got to him.

O’Brien lost his cool during Sunday’s 20-13 win against the Detroit Lions -- check out the video above -- needing to be restrained from going after his own staff for having only 10 players on the field.

O’Brien’s Texans are 5-3 and on top of the AFC South division, but the team has been criticized both for not being able to get the offense going with new quarterback Brock Osweiler and for being humiliated in three road games against their best opponents. Houston has lost to the Patriots, Vikings and Broncos by a combined score of 85-22.

Clearly, O’Brien, a disciple of Patriots coach Bill Belichick, is trying to right the ship before the Texans have to face another top-tier opponent. Fortunately, they get the 2-5 Jaguars next week.
