How Steelers can make life difficult for Texans offense

How Steelers can make life difficult for Texans offense

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.

Ex-Steelers WR George Pickens Snaps after Being Named Second-Team All-Pro

Ex-Steelers WR George Pickens Snaps after Being Named Second-Team All-Pro

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens was named second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys. Pickens finished the 2025 season with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards (15.4 average) and nine touchdowns. All figures were career highs.

Pickens feels slighted with the second-team All-Pro nod, however. He believes he should’ve been first-team All-Pro.

“What’s the criteria for [First-Team] All-Pro?” Pickens wrote via an Instagram story. “Ahhhhhh gotcha. It’s not [about] the play.”

Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams, Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks and Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals were...
