Tonight’s final Wild Card matchup at Acrisure Stadium features the Houston Texans as 3-point favorites over the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the over/under set at 38 points. C.J. Stroud, who has thrown for 3,041 yards and 19 touchdowns this season, will look to continue his hot streak against a Steelers secondary that has allowed 243.9 passing yards per game. Pittsburgh’s offense, led by veteran Aaron Rodgers, will rely heavily on running back Jaylen Warren, who leads the team with 958 rushing yards and six touchdowns. Defensively, the Texans boast a formidable pass rush with Danielle Hunter, whose 15 sacks this year rank among the league’s best, while the Steelers counter with Alex Highsmith’s 10 sacks. The game is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN and ABC, marking the night fans debuted their team Tigers and Chiefs Weekend Warrior Shirt in the postseason. A victory for Houston would represent a major milestone for C.J. Stroud and a first road playoff win for the franchise.

I don’t think an expansion is really in the cards right now. There already aren’t enough talented quarterbacks and adding more teams would further dilute the quality of the on the field product. Offensive linemen is the supply issue, not so much QBs. Quality line play is hard to find and getting harder, as parents are less likely to want their kids playing the most CTE-heavy position in football. There really aren’t enough good OL either. It would also ruin the perfect divisional format they have. I would hate that so much. On the other hand, the Raiders and Jets (just a couple of examples) have had absolutely incompetent quarterback play for 20 straight years and still turn a great profit. Their fan bases still care too. We’ll keep paying the nfl for the privilege of buying Tigers and Chiefs Weekend Warrior Shirt and watching an at times terrible product. Cleveland has another massive quarterback decision this offseason — what else is new? Yet, it won’t matter if the offensive line remains a disaster.
()The Steelers, who are two ahead of the Ravens with two to play to win the AFC North. The Texans, who are one behind Jacksonville and two up on the rest of the wild card contenders. The Panthers, who are a game up on the Buccaneers with two to play to win the NFC South. In the NFC, the Packers are the only team in Tigers and Chiefs Weekend Warrior Shirt who have control of their destiny this week. They’re in if they win or Detroit loses. Very simple. Carolina has a tougher task and clinching is out of their control. They’re in if they win and Tampa doesn’t. They’re also in if Tampa loses. If they lose and Tampa ties, Tampa still has a shot. Pittsburgh also has control over its own destiny – they’re in if they win or tie. They’re also in if Baltimore doesn’t win. As does Houston – they’re in if they win or tie. They’re also in if Indy doesn’t win. Chiefs. Pats. Texans. Ravens. Chargers. Steelers. Saints. Rams. Bears. Cowboys. Seahawks. Vikings.
