What were the highlights of the Texans vs. Steelers game?

Boomer Esiason 0:00
fair to say the Texans clobbered the Steelers specifically in the fourth quarter last night. 30-6 was the final. This was one of the big defensive plays Houston made.
Unknown 0:09
He'll get the shotgun snap. Four-man rush. Sets in the pocket. Hit from behind. Down he goes. Did he lose the ball? Rodgers is down. The ball picked up on the play by Rankins. He'll run it down the middle from the 20 to the 10 to the 5 and a touchdown. He was not chased.
Boomer Esiason 0:27
There There you go. Not chased away. He just ran it in for a score. You get another Aaron Rodgers sack on the night, another hit on Aaron Rodgers, and that was certainly part of the deal. Kevin Harlan, the call, Westwood won. They also got an interception return for a touchdown, 50 yards, and Bullock to cap the scoring at 30-6. Yes, they did get a 13-yard touchdown run from Woody Marks. You had a touchdown pass as well in this game from C.J. Stroud to Christian Kirk, but defense, defense, defense. This is Texans head coach D'Amico Ryans.
DeMeco Ryans 0:57
It was an outstanding defensive performance. One of the best that I've seen versus a really talented offense, a talented quarterback who's played at a high level for a long time. So I'm proud of our defensive performance. I think this is the best performance we've had in our team history. Dominant.
Boomer Esiason 1:14
Yeah, it really was. And they scored two touchdowns. That's the other thing. I'd like CBS Sports Network, if they could, the fumble recovery for a touchdown to re-rack that one. And watch number 73 of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Isaac Ciumalo, I believe is how you pronounce it.
Micah Parsons 1:31
Left guard.
Boomer Esiason 1:32
Look at this. Boom! gets completely run over by Rankins and then just stands there and then doesn't even run after him afterwards. If that isn't the worst play of his career, when he watches that back, I don't know what possibly could be worse. The amazing thing, too, on that particular play, Aaron Rodgers takes a hit to the head. Well, yeah, of course. Just like Justin Herbert took a hit to the head. I guess we're not calling those anymore. Well, I mean, yeah. That's supposed to hit the guy. Seems arbitrary. That's what I'm saying. Like, all of a sudden, here we are in the playoffs, and two quarterbacks have gotten hit in the head, and normally during the regular season, those are flags. Here was C.J. Stroud.
Boomer Esiason 2:13
Not the best game for him, but it didn't matter because of how good the defense was. But they did enough. He says the ebbs and flows.
C.J. Stroud 2:19
They're going to make plays. We're going to make plays.

How did D'Amico Ryans react to the Texans' defensive performance?

C.J. Stroud 2:21
It's all about, you know, moving forward and, you know, trying your best to, you know, flush it and keep going. So, you know, I thought, you know, every time we had a bounce back, you know, we made more plays. I'm proud of our guys for having a little bit of resilience in those moments.
Boomer Esiason 2:33
Never heard C.J. Stroud talk. I didn't know that's what he sounded like. How about that? That was C.J. Stroud. Here's Mike Tomlin. More on the Texans' defense. Even he says, wow.
Aaron Rodgers 2:42
Certainly a disappointing end to our season. Yeah. But you certainly got to give Houston a lot of credit, in particular their defensive unit. I thought they ruled the day.
Boomer Esiason 2:54
They ruled the day. Yes, they did. And you had the fire Tomlin chance again in the fourth quarter last night as this game was getting away from Pittsburgh. It was a 7-6 game into the fourth. Here was Aaron Rodgers on the idea of moving away from quality coaches, and he's kind of referencing Tomlin and LaFleur.
Aaron Rodgers 3:10
The way that the league is covered now and the way that there's snap decisions and the Validity given to the Twitter experts and all the experts on TV now who make it seem like they know what the hell they're talking about. To me, that's an absolute joke.
Boomer Esiason 3:28
And also the idea that... So when I say that they shouldn't fire Mike Tomlin and they're not going to fire Mike Tomlin... You're a joke. I'm a joke? No, I'm just kidding. Can't believe fans want guys like this out.
Aaron Rodgers 3:40
For either of those two guys to be on the hot seat is... It's really apropos of where we're at as a society and a league because obviously Matt's done a lot of great things in Green Bay and we had a lot of success.
