The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the Houston Texans on Monday night at Acrisure Stadium in the AFC wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. The Steelers won four of their last five regular-season games to secure the AFC North title, the conference's No. 4 seed and a 10-7 record.

Week 17 is in the books for the NFL, and while some teams helped their playoff hopes, two divisions will come down to the final game in Week 18 after key losses.

It was three years ago in the NFC Championship Game when the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 to advance to Super Bowl LVII. Brock Purdy was injured in that game, hindering San Francisco’s chances.
