Steelers to play Texans in Wild Card game

The Steelers will play the Houston Texans in a Wild Card game at Acrisure Stadium on Monday, Jan. 12 at 8:15 p.m. on ESPN/ABC.

The Steelers own a 5-3 all-time record against the Texans, including 3-1 at home.

The Steelers have won three of the last four regular season meetings, dating back to 2014. This is the first time the two teams will meet in the postseason.

The Steelers secured their playoff spot when they defeated the Baltimore Ravens to take the AFC North title on Sunday night at Acrisure Stadium.

The Steelers have won 25 division championships, including 15 AFC Central Championships and 10 AFC North Championships after the conference was realigned in 2002 to include the Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals and Ravens.

This is the eighth time the Steelers have won the AFC North under Coach Mike Tomlin, who has never had a losing season since he was hired in 2007. It is also the 12th time under Tomlin the Steelers have earned a playoff berth.

The win over the Ravens was Tomlin's 193rd regular season win, tying Hall of Fame Coach Chuck Noll for the most regular season wins in Steelers history. Tomlin also tied Noll for ninth place in all-time regular season wins in NFL history.
