Texans Defense Overwhelms Steelers in Potential Aaron Rodgers Finale

On Jan. 12, 2026, the Houston Texans visit the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in the final game of Wild Card weekend.
Riding a nine-game win streak, the Houston Texans clinched their Wild Card berth and gained Divisional Round clarity by playing the final Wild Card game.
C.J. Stroud will make his fifth career playoff start Monday, having thrown eight touchdowns and three interceptions in six games since returning, with six straight road games over 200 yards passing.
The winner will advance to the Divisional Round, and for Houston, a trip to New England awaits while Pittsburgh seeks to end its eight-year playoff-win drought.
Pittsburgh brings a 23-game Monday-night home winning streak, while Houston's defense and Anderson-Hunter's 27 sacks combined shape the matchup.
