    HOU defense is better than the Browns defense, probably #1 defense in the NFL.
    I expect a low scoring game.

    Texans offense is not high scoring, it's pretty bad. They are a dome team coming to winter outdoor conditions in Pittsburgh.

    Steelers win, 20-17.

    My first ever Steeler game was the last time they lost at home in Monday night. Chuck Knoll was the coach and Neil O'Donnell replaced Bubby Brister and almost pulled off the comeback.

    Let the winning streak continue!!!

    The Texans are great but this is the best chance for the steelers to win a playoffs game since 2020,since they are at home and the other 3 games they had almost no chance....They were 9-12 points underdog in those 3 games.The texans offense is average too.Their defense is great,maybe the best in the NFL with seattle,so it will be the challenge

    The defense need to show up for 4 quarter and can't have blow coverage for god sake!

    The Texans are bad on offense, great on defense, and we are confounding and mediocre, so anything could happen.

    This week was a heart attack, so get out that defibrillator for next week.

    It may take 13-10 or 16-13 kind of slog win. The Texans can rush the passer, so Rodgers won’t be nearly as comfortable.

    Need to keep pressure on Stroud all day long. Need strip sacks and junk up their offense near completely.

    Maybe Rodgers can find flaws in their defense, and we can scrape together 17-20 points.

    Our defense needs to almost shut them down to win.

    The Texans' defense is the real deal. They are no fun to play and will be a very tough out.

    Steelers own MNF.

    Dome teams struggle on the road in the playoffs in the cold.

    Texans have puny running game.

    Steelers are usually great as a home dog.

    Texans due to get beat.

    I think we can win.

    Texans have won 9 in a row, them and the Jaguars are the hottest teams in the league.

    Stroud can have periods where he is very mediocre. Perhaps having Metcalf out could be a blessing as it forced others to step up a bit. It gave time for Hayward Jr to work on his blocking game as Washington is out.

    ARE THEY?!


    I am more worried about Fautanu given how shaky he was tonight. Cook was better but speed to power is his nemesis currently. Guess who is the NFLs best at said move?!


    Will Anderson Jr. Here is hoping that Dylan is up to the challenge.

    And no Washington to help the tackles Will Anderson can be a game wrecker.

    The Texans OL is weak, but they have a good group of receivers.
