Texans at Steelers to close record-setting Wild Card Weekend

Cbssports reports the NFL's Wild Card Weekend — which has produced a postseason-high 12 fourth-quarter lead changes, four game-winning touchdowns in the final three minutes and four comeback wins in the final three minutes — concludes Monday when the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Houston Texans at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers (10-7) slipped into the playoffs after Ravens kicker Tyler Loop missed a potential game-winning 44-yard field goal last week, handing Pittsburgh the division. The Texans (12-5) have won nine straight behind the NFL's top total defense; Danielle Hunter (15 sacks) and Will Anderson Jr.

(12) are the first teammates with 10-plus sacks in back-to-back seasons since the 2013-14 Bills. Texans QB C.J. Stroud has struggled on the road this season (60.9% completion, nine TDs, seven INTs, 81.3 passer rating versus 69.1%, 10 TDs, one INT and a 107.4 rating at home). Houston is a 3-point favorite; SportsLine's model lists the Steelers money line at +133 and gives Pittsburgh a 49.0% win probability, while an expert pick favors Steelers +3 (Larry Hartstein).
