In criminal law, I can't see you would get anywhere.
But for civil suits, the standard for getting a jury to award damages is lower.
It appears to me that the Texans knew Watson was engaged in egregious behavior and was covering for him to the point where I could see a jury awarding damages.
For civil suits, you don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
And of course, the Texans may prefer a settlement to a long drawn out trial.
