DeMeco Ryans’ defense smothered Pittsburgh on third downs, while the offense benefited from limited opportunities despite Stroud’s three turnovers. The performance cemented the Texans’ defensive dominance as they advanced with a 13-5 record and a 10th straight win, signaling a potential playoff push if the offense can tighten up.

Rodgers-Backed Steelers Set to Host Texans in Monday Night Wild Card Showdown

The Steelers’ decision to bring back Aaron Rodgers paid off, finishing 10-7 to win the AFC North and earning a home Wild Card game against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. An NFL executive warned that Rodgers’ playoff form can be a nightmare for defenses, but Houston counters with a top defensive unit under DeMeco Ryans and a nine-game winning streak. Analysts note Pitt’s success will hinge on Rodgers’ quick decision‑making and accuracy, the line’s protection, and a looming test from Houston’s pass rush, with DK Metcalf back from suspension boosting the Steelers’ offense.
