I’m starting to feel like Phil Connors in Groundhog Day: “Well, it’s Groundhog Day…again.” Well, it’s another Pittsburgh Steelers first-round exit in the playoffs. Again. In blowout fashion, too. What looked like it was going to be a low-scoring, last-one-with-the-football-wins type of game on Monday night at Acrisure Stadium turned into laugher in the fourth […]

The 2025 Texans are one of seven teams to make the playoffs after starting 0-3, and are now one of the rare teams to beat Mike Tomlin on Monday night at home. Defeating the Steelers last night, Houston advances to the Wild Card as its improbable turnaround continues. Going back to the regular season, they […]

It’s been a story of inconsistency throughout the year for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. While it certainly was consistent against the Houston Texans, the unit was unfortunately consistently bad. Aaron Rodgers hit a couple nice throws to begin the game, but things closed up significantly after that, and some of the Steelers’ better playmakers made […]

Was this the Steelers’ last best chance to end their playoff drought without a franchise quarterback? Winning in the playoffs is hard, and winning without a franchise quarterback is even harder, as the Steelers know. They have lost seven playoff games in a row now, going back to 2016. Sure, they had Ben Roethlisberger for […]

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 season ended the way it began on Monday — with the team mostly twiddling its thumbs as time fruitlessly passes by.
The Steelers lost 30-6 to the Houston Texans in game that was both closer than the score and somehow not. The Steelers were still well within striking distance, down only four points when a Houston strip sack and defensive touchdown by Will Anderson turned the game on its ear.
A play here or there — a critical drop by DK Metcalf, a non-call on a long pass to Calvin Austin III — and...
PITTSBURGH — It was the type of play that deflates a stadium. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’ll be the lasting image of an offensive line that had made progress throughout the season.
Will Anderson Jr.’s strip sack of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the straw that broke the camel’s back in what wound up a 30-6 Wild Card playoff loss. The Houston Texans’ outside linebacker charged around Rodgers’ blindside protector, Dylan Cook, to chop the ball out of his grasp.
Texans defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins plucked it off the ground and thundered 33 yards to pay dirt, stretching his...
As the old saying goes, “the more things change, the more they stay the same” for the Pittsburgh Steelers. At least in their latest postseason defeat, the score was competitive into the second half, although that had more to do with the Houston Texans dropping the ball—literally and figuratively. Collectively, Mike Tomlin’s teams now own the longest playoff losing streak in franchise history, and the future of the franchise remains cloudy at best.
What’s next? We’ll have to wait and see. First, let’s take a look at some winners and losers from the Wild Card round before diving into [offseason...
Bringing you guys another video. Here, we’re breaking down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round that officially ends the team’s 2025 year. We discuss the pitfalls on third down, the lack of a running game, and a Steelers defense that gave up too many yards on the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers draft slot for the 2026 NFL Draft is now finalized after Monday night’s Wild Card loss to the Houston Texans.
The Steelers hold the 21st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which will be held in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers held the 21st overall pick in the draft last year, as well. Before that, the last No. 21 overall pick was in 1990. Tight end Eric Green out of Liberty was the selection. Hall of Fame wide receiver Lynn Swann (1974), linebacker Robin Cole (1977), defensive tackle Gabriel Rivera (1983) and Derrick Harmon (2025) are the other...
Mike Tomlin added another playoff loss to his resumé Monday night. While Tomlin has yet to have a losing season as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach, he also hasn’t been able to win a postseason game in almost 10 years. That frustration has started to boil over in recent years, and a 30-6 loss to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to win the AFC North this year, but a few problems persisted throughout the season. One of those issues was a lack of weapons, in terms of pass catchers. For Bryant McFadden, it’s extremely frustrating considering the Steelers moved on from George Pickens before the 2025 season began. “In a game […]
