The final spot in the divisional round has been decided! 

The Houston Texans, behind a lockdown performance from their defense, cruised past the Pittsburgh Steelers and into the next round of the 2025 NFL playoffs.

[4 Takeaways From the Texans' Win Over the Steelers]

Neither Aaron Rodgers nor C.J. Stroud found much success in this AFC wild-card matchup inside Acrisure Stadium. But, in Stroud's case, the young quarterback's best wasn't required en route to his third playoff win in the franchise's first-ever road playoff game. 

Rodgers and the Steelers welcomed the return of wide receiver DK Metcalf, back from a two-game suspension, for a stiff test against Houston, but the star wideout was held in check by a vaunted Texans defense, led by All-Pros Will Anderson Jr., Derek Stingley Jr. and Danielle Hunter.

Check below for all the highlights from Steelers vs. Texans on Monday night!
