The Texans secured their first road playoff win in franchise history after taking down the Steelers 30–6 at Acrisure Stadium.
For third-year quarterback C.J. Stroud, it marked his third straight victory in the wild-card round and a third consecutive trip to the divisional round. In the previous two years, Stroud and the Texans hosted their wild-card game after winning the AFC South, but due to a slow start this season, they had to go on the road this time.
