The road for the Texans to make their first Super Bowl begins on the road as this is the first time they’ve gotten to the playoffs as a wild card. Tonight, they enter the Steel City and play T.J. Watt’s AFC North winning (technically) Pittsburgh Steelers.
There are a lot of streaks on the line here.
Steelers have been 0-6 in the playoffs since the 2016 AFC Championship game.
Texans are 0-6 in road playoff games in franchise history.
Pittsburgh has won 23 straight home games on Monday night since 1991.
Houston is riding a nine-game win streak going into tonight.
Pittsburgh has allowed at least 28 points in six straight playoff games.
One or more streaks are going to be broken tonight. Personally, I’m hoping it’s the Steelers streaks.
Let’s get the playoffs started (the games on Saturday and Sunday only count if the Texans win).
Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s game:
Who: Houston Texans (12-5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)
What: Wild Card Round
Where: Acrisure Stadium – Pittsburgh, PA
When: Monday January 12, 7:15 p.m. CST
Why: Because only three wins separate the Texans from their first SB appearance.

May the way of DeMeco lead to the Super Bowl.
Go, Texans!
