Steelers vs Texans: Disrespected Again — Why Pittsburgh Can Win

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the playoffs — and once again, the national media isn’t giving them a chance. In Episode #168 of the Steel City Insider Podcast, Steelers insider Jim Wexell joins co-host Jeremy Hritz to break down Monday Night Football’s playoff matchup at Acrisure Stadium as the Steelers prepare to face the red-hot Houston Texans, winners of nine straight games. We dive into why Pittsburgh continues to be underestimated, how veteran leadership and postseason poise factor into this matchup, and what the Texans struggle with most — including defending the deep pass and generating a consistent running game. Jim also draws fascinating comparisons between this Steelers team and the gritty 1989 Steelers under Chuck Noll — a group nobody believed in until January football arrived. If you’re looking for grounded, film-driven analysis without the national noise, this episode delivers exactly that. 👇 Join the conversation • Drop your prediction for Monday night in the comments • Subscribe for weekly Steelers analysis and playoff coverage • Share this episode with a Steelers fan who’s tired of the disrespect Steelers football is built for moments like this. #Steelers #HereWeGo #SteelCity #NFLPlayoffs #SteelersNation #MondayNightFootball #AcrisureStadium #NFLAnalysis #PittsburghSteelers #TexansVsSteelers #PlayoffFootball
