The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the Houston Texans to close out Wild Card weekend. And while most observers believe the Texans’ ferocious defense will dominate the game, Pittsburgh has made standout defensive plays to keep the contest close.
The Steelers struck first, getting on the board with Chris Boswell’s 32-yard field goal midway through the first quarter. Houston responded with a promising drive, working the ball to Pittsburgh’s 40-yard line. Then the Texans dipped into their bag of tricks and disaster followed.
Woody Marks took the handoff before pitching the ball back to CJ Stroud. But the Steelers weren’t fooled by the flea flicker. Jack Sawyer fought through a block and got to Stroud, knocking the ball out of his hand. Yahya Black recovered the fumble and Pittsburgh took over near midfield.
