For the first time in five seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to host a playoff game on the North Shore.
The red-hot Houston Texans roll into town winners of nine straight games and boasting one of the best defenses in the NFL. It seems like a bit of a lopsided matchup based on stats and the overall performance of the two teams. But the Steelers are no slouches in this one.
Pittsburgh has won four of its last five games and is playing with a lot of confidence right now. Staying home for the playoff game is a big boost, too, and the weather could be a factor for the Black and Gold as well.
