Steelers-Texans aftermath: What went wrong in wild-card game? Will Mike Tomlin be the coach in 2026?

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to parse through what went wrong against the Houston Texans on Monday night and look ahead to the team's offseason. What went wrong in that game? Was it indicative of bigger problems all year? How did Aaron Rodgers perform in his (likely) only year in black and gold? Was he a better option than previous ones like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, and if so, why was the result the same? What's DK Metcalf's role moving forward? What changes should be made, and what changes will be made? Does everything really come down to Mike Tomlin? Will he be the coach in 2026? What about his coordinators? Will Arthur Smith return amid rumors he's up for head coaching jobs? What about Teryl Austin after his run defense was gashed in the playoffs — again? Our duo tackles those topics and more.
