The Steelers look to continue to keep their win streak going in Houston, with back-to-back wins on the road. The Texans are not a team to think is going to be an easy win. Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud has picked up what it takes to an NFL quarterback quickly.
This is also a good game to see an expanded role for second year running back Jaylen Warren, who has been impressive in both the run and pass game. This is also a good game to for the young defensive players to get some good reps.
