The Houston Texans are bringing arguably the best defense in the National Football League into Pittsburgh for the Wild Card matchup against the Steelers. And it’s almost exclusively what people are talking about for this matchup. How can Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers and his offensive line handle the Texans’ mighty pass rush? And how will the Steelers be able to attack a talented Texans secondary?
But what about the Steelers’ defense? Yes, the defense had an up-and-down season. But they picked off 15 passes this season, and the Steelers actually have more sacks than the Texans. Former Steelers G Willie Colon thinks the Steelers’ defense should take this matchup personally.
