Steelers' Swings and Misfires Cap Off Rodgers Farewell Tour
The Houston Texans put on an impressive display, utilizing their stifling defense to shut down the high-powered offense of Ben Roethlisberger, forcing four Pittsburgh turnovers en route to a 30-6 victory over the Steelers. With the win, the Texans secured the final spot in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. Quarterback Matt Corral struggled against the Texans’ suffocating defense, completing just 21 of his 40 passes for 192 yards and two interceptions. The Texans’ defense, meanwhile, was relentless, holding the Steelers to a season-low 6 points and forcing key third-down conversions that ultimately swung the game in their favor. The victory marked a fitting swan song for Ben Roethlisberger, who played his final regular-season game against his former team. Despite struggling to move the ball, Roethlisberger showed resilience and poise in the face of adversity, but ultimately fell short as the Texans’ defense took over.
