As we’ve done in the past, below are the keys and my prediction of the Pittsburgh Steelers winning (or losing) today’s game. Three things that need to happen for the Steelers to end up on the right side of the score and vice versa in their Wild Card game against the Houston Texans. My Steelers […]

Wild card weekend in the NFL is nearly complete. With the Saturday and Sunday slate of games complete, all that stands between the divisional round is the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans squaring off on Monday night. With every other game now wrapped up, the Steelers know their destination should they advance to the divisional round.

Pittsburgh will travel to Foxborough to face the New England Patriots, should they defeat the Texans. The Steelers defeated the Patriots in Week 3 in Foxborough, forcing five Patriots turnovers en route to a 21-14 win.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans will play on Monday Night Football for a trip to face the New England Patriots.

The Patriots, the No. 2 seed in the AFC, defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, 16-3 on Sunday Night Football, clinching their spot in the divisional round. The No. 6-seeded Buffalo Bills upset the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier on Sunday in the other AFC Wild Card game, sealing three of the four Divisional Round teams and pigeonholing the winner of the Steelers-Texans showdown in one slot.

The No. 6 Bills will go on the road to face the No. 1 Denver...

If the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Houston Texans Monday night, the Steelers will travel to Foxboro for a matchup with the New England Patriots in the AFC’s divisional round. That comes by virtue of the Buffalo Bills beating the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday afternoon followed by the New England Patriots knocking off the Los Angeles Chargers […]

Both the Steelers and Texans updated their availability reports on Sunday ahead of Monday night’s Wild Card matchup.

Houston’s update was small but potentially significant: The team will be traveling without backup quarterback Davis Mills (personal issue), leaving starter C.J. Stroud and third-stringer Graham Mertz as the only remaining quarterbacks on the Texans roster.

If Stroud plays the entire game, Mills’ absence shouldn’t affect the team much. However, Mills is one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league, with six game appearances, 915 passing yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in the 2025 season alone. He’s gone 3-0 as...

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans will close out what has been a terrific wild card weekend around the NFL, with each of the first three games decided by one score. Will Pittsburgh and Houston follow suit? And will the Steelers advance? Our staff weighs in.

Mike Nicastro: As has been the case so often this season, the game feels destined to be decided in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. In that scenario, the Steelers are betting on experience. Rodgers has made a career out of delivering in high-leverage moments, and Pittsburgh will trust him to make the...

Troy Fautanu finally had a chance to play a full NFL season, and he took the opportunity to show why the Pittsburgh Steelers made him a first-round selection. Fautanu has arguably been the Steelers’ best offensive lineman this season after missing most of his rookie season due to injury. While Fautanu missed out on any […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have an interesting challenge awaiting them Monday night. The Houston Texans are practically the Absolute Batman version of the Steelers. Good quarterbacks, each team has one very good receiver while the rest of both groups lack a proven No. 2, and two good defenses with terrific pass rushers and high-quality secondaries.

While both teams have several similarities, the Texans have spent the 2025 season beating teams that do what the Steelers do defensively, meaning Pittsburgh should look to switch things up on that side of the ball in terms of what coverages they deploy.
