The NFL’s outstanding slate of wild-card round football officially came to an end on Monday night in Pittsburgh, as the Texans took care of business, 30–6, over the Steelers to advance to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
Houston’s defense, smothering as always, sacked Aaron Rodgers four times and forced him into a fourth-quarter pick-six—carrying the Texans despite a subpar performance from quarterback C.J. Stroud.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is now 0–7 in his last seven playoff games, and questions about both his and Rodgers' NFL futures are set to take center stage this offseason. As for the Texans? They're onto the next round. They'll take on the Patriots next Sunday in Foxborough with a chance to advance to the AFC championship game.
