In last night’s game, the Houston Texans started the night off looking like it was going to be their night. That is until the last two minutes of the first half. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers scored 21 points in those last two minutes which proved to be enough to pull out a 30-23 win over the Houston Texans. The victory marked the 16th straight home win on Monday Night Football, which is the longest streak in it’s history.

Although the Texans out gained Pittsburgh, 393-328, but three turnovers ultimately kept them from stealing the much needed win on the road.

For the first 28 minutes, it was nothing but Houston. J.J. Watt made a consistent presence in the backfield, racking up a sack and a fumble recovery with multiple QB hits.

The Texans built their 13-0 lead quickly by a Alfred Blue TD reception and two Randy Bullock kicks. 

That was followed by a Shaun Suisham 44-yard field goal with 3:08 to play in the half. 

Then came the entire game’s worth of moments in the last two and some minutes of the first half: Ben Roethlisberger to Martavis Bryant for the first catch and touchdown of the wide receiver’s career. An Arian Foster fumble on his own 3-yard line. A trick play resulting in Antonio Brown finding Lance Moore for the score. An interception by Brett Keisel. Finishing with a Roethlisberger touchdown to LeVeon Bell.

The result was a 24-13 halftime lead.

Also, a stunned Houston Texans. 

In the second half, both teams exchanged field goals in the fourth, but a costly fumble by DeAndre Hopkins put the Texans’ hopes in a hole.

Ryan Fitzpatrick gave the Texans a sliver of a chance when he connected on an 86-yard scoring drive to bring Houston within a touchdown.

Pittsburgh closed the door when they recovered the ensuing onside kick.

The Texans will try to turn this sinking ship around at Tennessee next week against the 2-5 Titans.

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, continues its way through the AFC South with a home meeting against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts.
