For the first time in five years, the Pittsburgh Steelers are AFC North champions, and now they get to host a playoff game.
That home playoff game on Monday Night Football brings a matchup against the Houston Texans, winners of nine straight games and owners of one of the best defenses in the NFL.
Is that all?
On paper, it looks like a lopsided affair in favor of the Texans, but that’s why they play the games. The Steelers haven’t lost a home Monday Night Football game since 1991, while the Texans have never won a road playoff game in their history.
