Houston @ Pittsburgh
Team Totals: Texans 21, Steelers 18
History has been made, as Houston prepares for its first illustrious Wild Card game outside of the Saturday 4:30 p.m. ET window. Unfortunately, C.J. Stroud’s three highest scores of the season came in predictable spots against the Ravens (short a handful of starters on defense), 49ers (short a handful of starters on defense), and Cardinals (short a handful of starters on defense). He’s otherwise averaged 12.2 points in 11 surrounding starts with zero top-12 finishes, and the Steelers (upon sliding Jalen Ramsey to safety in Week 9) lead the league in generating pressure (40%) for a 60% completion rate (sixth) with T.J. Watt on the field. Stroud has worrisomely completed 49.6% of his passes (23rd) for 6.0 yards per attempt (25th) when pressured.
