STEELERS SQUAD SHOW: Wild Card Preview | Can Pittsburgh End Playoff Drought vs. Texans on MNF?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are headed to the 2025 NFL playoffs in improbable fashion after a dramatic AFC North clincher, and now Mike Tomlin’s team looks to snap its postseason drought. On this Locked On Steelers Squad Show, host and Pittsburgh native Tyler Feldman is joined by 15-year NFL veteran Wayne Gandy and fellow Pittsburgher Ben Bobick to preview Pittsburgh’s Wild Card showdown against the red-hot Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. 

Can the Steelers’ defense, led by T.J. Watt, disrupt C.J. Stroud and turn this into the kind of grind-it-out game that favors Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium? How will Aaron Rodgers handle a Texans pass rush that thrives without blitzing, and can DK Metcalf win his matchup on the outside? We break down the key matchups, betting odds, and what must go right for the Steelers to pull the upset. Don’t miss our full preview and prediction for Texans/Steelers in the 2025 NFL playoffs.
