Texans

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

The defense turned PIT into rubble — W.Anderson and S.Rankins splitting a sack-strip on A.Rodgers, S.Rankins getting another, and B.Echols's pick of C.Stroud at the 4 somehow not even mattering. C.Stroud found C.Kirk twice for chunk gains once the offense stopped fumbling on itself, and K.Fairbairn's 51-yarder was just punctuation. First franchise playoff road win, and the question becomes whether this defense travels to Foxborough or whether tonight was the ceiling.
