The NFL's Wild Card Weekend has been a rollercoaster ride, with record-breaking comebacks and nail-biting finishes. The excitement isn't over yet, as the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face off on Monday night. The Texans, boasting the league's top defense, have won nine straight games. The Steelers, on the other hand, snagged their playoff spot thanks to a missed field goal by the Ravens' kicker.
Houston's defense is a force to be reckoned with, led by pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. They've been a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. However, Texans' quarterback C. J. Stroud has struggled on the road this season. His performance away from home has been inconsistent, with more interceptions than touchdowns.
The Steelers, despite their shaky start, have found their groove. They're riding a wave of momentum heading into this game. The matchup is expected to be close, with Houston as a slight favorite. But in the playoffs, anything can happen.
While the Texans vs. Steelers game is the main event, there's plenty of other action on Monday. The NBA and college basketball have multiple games scheduled, and the NHL is also in full swing. It's a feast for sports fans.
The Celtics and Pacers are set to battle it out, with the Celtics' Jaylen Brown questionable due to back spasms. His absence could open up opportunities for other players, making the game even more unpredictable.
In college basketball, the Navy Midshipmen are aiming for their best start since 2020-21. They'll face the high-scoring American Eagles, who are eager to avenge last season's loss.
The NHL also has a key matchup, with the struggling New York Rangers taking on the Seattle Kraken. The Rangers are fighting to snap their three-game losing streak, while the Kraken are looking to secure their spot in the playoffs.
