I think this Texans defense has a shot to take them all the way to the Super Bowl.

I think they're that good.

And we'll see what they can do.

But the Steelers, I think, just looked out of sorts in every way.

The receivers weren't open.

The offensive line got dominated.

Skill players couldn't make things happen.

Rodgers looked skittish in the pocket.

Everything looked bad.

Arthur Smith called a poor game.

They didn't utilize their personnel correctly.

It all fell down.

There was a big talent differential on those two units, and you saw it play out.

Defensively, I mean, listen, they held up much better than they have in previous playoff games that they've gotten into.

Three turnovers should have given them a shot, right?

When you get three points off three turnovers, that is going to really put a damper on everything.

Yeah, right.

But when you look at the Steelers defense, I think the two things that stick out are they played man-to-man heavy coverage.

For some reason, I don't know why, CJ Stroud has killed man-to-man coverage all season long, but the Steelers thought that would be a good idea.

And as such, the Texans went 10-15 on third down.
