What is the significance of the Texans' victory over the Steelers?
It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Good Tuesday morning. Divisional playoff weekend in the NFL is set as the Houston Texans move on as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last night. It was a close game for a while. The Steelers did have opportunities early on in the game with a couple of fumbles by C.J. Stroud. Could not convert in the end zone. Had to settle for field goals and then things just fell apart as that Texans defense moved on. It was too good, too fast, too strong, too suffocating. And it ends up being a blowout score in the end, 30-6. So now you've got the Houston Texans going up to see the New England Patriots next weekend. A lot of action yesterday when it came to the head coaches.
We had Zoom interviews. We had lunches. We had visits at houses. This is going to be a fun week to find out where everybody goes next. and the rangers blow good morning boomer how are you yeah how you doing g and i would say in regards to last night football game the texans scored more points on defense than the pittsburgh offense did so uh you just goes to show you how great a defense they do have and by the way i didn't think cj stroud played all that well you know he looked really nervous in the first half and Had a couple turnovers himself, and if he's going to play like that in the next round, the round after that, that's when the Texans would get in trouble. But I would think now he'll settle down.
I think they're going to be really a pain in the ass to play. Their defense is as good as advertised. You know Daniel Hunter pretty well from his days in Minnesota. And he is, you know, you talk about an underrated signing that they made a couple years ago, I think it was, to go along with Will Anderson Jr. And the way that they rushed the quarterback with four guys and the way that they rallied the football is one of the most impressive things about what their defense does do. So if you're a defensive player out there, you watched that game last night, you had to love Will. what you saw from Houston, Texas, and this is one of the reasons why I really do feel like they're going to make it to the Super Bowl.
Well, Nico Collins having a concussion is a big deal for them. He is by far their best wide receiver. I know Christian Kirk stepped up in a big way last night, but Nico Collins and C.J. Stroud, that's essentially their offense. I mean, that's really what it's been. Well, I mean, they ran the ball effectively last night. And the good thing about what they did last night, running the ball, is that they stayed with it. Yeah, I mean, and when your defense is great and the other team isn't scoring points and you're committed to the run, it's going to work. But when you're starting to now get bigger opponents and better opponents moving forward, not having your best wide receiver is not a good thing. So we'll see if he ends up, you know, he was carted off.
with a concussion, Nico Collins. So that is a big deal, and I think that if they don't make it to the Super Bowl, that's going to be a big part of it. But the defense is as good of a defense, I think, that we have seen in the NFL in a couple of years, and that's not just a recency bias thing. I mean, this team has won, what is it now, 10 straight football games. Yeah.
How did the Texans' defense perform during the game?
They're giving up 17 points per game in 2025-2026 NFL football where everybody's throwing the ball all over the place. I mean, the turnovers, the scoring on defense, just the way that they run to the ball, how fast they are. They just beat you up, and they were on full display last night. You think about it, I think one of the most impressive things that happened was the second C.J. Stroud lost fumble. And the Steelers ran eight plays for four yards and then had to settle for the field goal. And they were able to, you know, they got a penalty in there, they were able to get a first down, but then they lost more yardage. And it was right there, I just said, they're just never going to score a touchdown.
Yeah, so this defense has pretty much done this to all the other quarterbacks they've played this year.
