The lights shine bright during the playoffs. But the lights at Acrisure Stadium will shine even brighter Monday night. In the final game of a highly anticipated Wild Card weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Houston Texans, a matchup dripping with storylines, respect, and underlying concern. And yes—everyone is talking about it. Including Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans.
“We’re excited for our matchup with the Steelers,” Ryans told reporters this week. And he should be.
In a short span, Ryans has helped turn Houston from an afterthought into a postseason regular, guiding the Texans to the playoffs every year of his tenure.
