Keenum showed big play ability early but the Texans stumbled to 0-8 during his time under center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese quarterbacks, I have to \u2026 everybody and the fans, especially: These guys have been working extremely hard,\u201d O\u2019Brien said. \u201cThey\u2019ve all had really good moments.
