The Texans got off to a bit of a slow start in their Monday night playoff game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. While Aaron Rodgers was able to lead his offense to a field goal in the first quarter, Houston struggled to move the ball and was forced to punt on its first possession. Things went slightly better on the second possession—until a questionable trick play call went disastrously wrong.
The Texans got the ball into Steelers territory with a few minutes to go before the second quarter. At that point, offensive coordinator Nick Caley opted to call a flea flicker. The play started smoothly, with quarterback C.J. Stroud cleanly handing the ball off to Woody Marks. But then things went sideways.
