The Houston Texans secured their first-ever road playoff victory, dominating the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6, thanks to a stellar defensive performance and key turnovers, advancing to face New England.
The Houston Texans achieved a historic 30-6 road playoff win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking their first such victory and extending their winning streak to 10 games. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins returned a fumble for a touchdown, and cornerback Calen Bullock sealed the game with a pick-six, potentially on Aaron Rodgers' final pass of his career. Despite C.J. Stroud's three turnovers, Houston's top-ranked defense stifled Pittsburgh, limiting them to just 175 total yards and no touchdowns. This defeat extends the Steelers' and coach Mike Tomlin's playoff losing streak to seven, raising questions about Rodgers' future and Pittsburgh's ongoing playoff drought as the Texans prepare to face New England in the AFC Divisional Round.
