Seven of the final eight teams have been confirmed to advance to the divisional round. The final spot will go to either the fourth-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers or the fifth-seeded Houston Texans, who have never won a road playoff game in their (relatively) short history. Meanwhile, the Steelers haven’t lost a Monday night home game since the early 1990s, which is insane given how often they’ve played on Mondays. Pittsburgh hasn’t won in the playoffs since the 2016 season and is an underdog tonight.

In response, the Seattle Seahawks are focusing on the fact that former star receiver DK Metcalf has returned from a two-game suspension. Argument with Detroit Lions fans. Pittsburgh missed a field goal from the Baltimore Ravens suspension and the missed field goal looked like a very expensive one for the field, but the Steelers are here and this will likely be the last playoff run of Aaron Rodgers’ career. It will be a daunting task against the Texans’ elite defense led by Daniel Hunter and Will Anderson and a very good pass rush.

The winner of this game will face the New England Patriots on Sunday, which, by the way, will reveal Saturday’s time slot when the Seahawks will face the San Francisco 49ers.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will appear on ESPN/ABC at 5:15pm PT. If you don’t like these two, check out Peyton and Eli Manning on Manningcast on ESPN2. Either way, please join us in the comments!
