The road to Super Bowl LX in San Francisco has begun, and the final game of the NFL’s Wild Card weekend features No. 5 Houston Texans taking on the AFC North champion No. 4 Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, Jan. 12.
Last week, the Steelers punched their ticket to the postseason with a thrilling 26-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. After Steelers kicker Chris Boswell’s late point-after attempt sailed wide, the Ravens drove down the field and set up for a game-winning field goal, which was missed on the final play by rookie kicker Tyler Loop.
The Steelers are searching to end a streak of six straight playoff losses, stretching back to the 2016 season when they fell to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game.
The Texans come in as one of the hottest teams in the NFL, winners of their past nine games dating to Nov. 9. The Texans’ defense is one of the best units in the league and has caused fits for opponents during its current run.
Here is how you can catch all of the action.
