The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Houston Texans on Christmas Day in Week 16 of the 2017 NFL season. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The NFL is bringing the football cheer on Christmas Day, delivering two matchups that each feature at least one playoff team. In the first of the two, the Pittsburgh Steelers will look to build off clinching the AFC North and move towards locking down a first-round bye in the playoffs. Standing in their way, though, will be the Houston Texans, who would love to wreak some havoc at home.
Since the Deshaun Watson injury, the Texans have been ailing with Tom Savage at the helm. While DeAndre Hopkins has done all he can to prove that he’s one of the best in the game, he’s not been able to carry this team by himself. With that said, the defense led by Jadeveon Clowney is still quite frisky and capable of making numerous big plays. They’ll need that against Pittsburgh on Monday.
That’s because the Steelers offense is as lethal as ever. Though they’re without Antonio Brown, they still boast Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell and complementary pieces like rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant. With the defense also playing at a high level, they’re a tough team for this Texans squad to handle.
