My final Pittsburgh Steelers pregame thoughts as the team tries to take down the Houston Texans and advance to the next round of the playoffs.
1. CLOSE GAMES RULED THE WILD CARD WEEKEND
The Steelers and Texans will close out the first round of the playoffs on Monday Night Football. With the other six games in the books, it hasn’t been the typical start to the NFL postseason. Uneven games ending in blowout victories are more common in the Wild Card Round than the Divisional Round, but that hasn’t been the case this year. Most AFC and NFC games this weekend came down to the wire, with multiple lead changes in the fourth quarters.
