The Houston Texans came into the postseason with a seriousness that sets them apart as one of the NFL’s elite defenses, and they clinched a strong 30–6 wild-card win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The game between the two sides, the Houston Texans and the Pittsburgh Steelers, was played on Monday night, with the possibility that it may be the last match that Aaron Rodgers will feature in.
Texans became a thorn in the flesh of the Steelers as the former didn’t let their opponent record more than 175 total yards, sacked Rodgers four times, and converted two errors committed by Rodgers into defensive touchdowns.
The Texans have joined Chicago as they become the second team in playoff history to score multiple defensive touchdowns without allowing one, a record last achieved by the latter in 1940.
Will Anderson’s strip sack led to a fumble-return touchdown by Sheldon Rankins, and Rodgers’ final pass was intercepted and returned for a score by Calen Bullock. Rodgers finished with a 14.3 QBR, the worst of his playoff career, and was pulled late in the game.
