Texans vs Steelers Preview
The Steelers improved to 2-0 last week, holding off the Denver Broncos for a 26-21 victory.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, in his second game since he missed almost all of the 2019 campaign with an elbow injury, completed 29 of 41 passes for 311 yards, a pair of touchdowns and a pick.
Despite those solid numbers, Roethlisberger was less than impressed by his play.
“The good news is when you play poorly and you still win the football game, that’s something to be thankful (for),” he said, according to The Associated Press. “I just need to trust myself making the throws. The guys are in the right spot.”
The Steelers racked up 7 sacks of Broncos quarterbacks Drew Lock and Jeff Driskel to bring their season total to 10, good for second in the NFL. Linebacker T.J. Watt was responsible for 2.5 of those QB takedowns.
“They were special,” Roethlisberger said of his squad’s defense, according to Steelers.com. “They bailed us out numerous times.”
On Sunday, for the first time, Watt and his brothers — Steelers fullback Derek Watt and Texans defensive end J.J. Watt — will share the field in an NFL game.
“It’s unbelievable,” J.J. said, according to ESPN. “It truly is incredible. Just to have all of us playing at Wisconsin was really cool. Just to have all of us playing in the NFL was really cool. To play against another brother was cool. Now, to have all of us on the field at the same time in the same game, it really doesn’t get any better than that.”
With two games under their belt, the Texans are still searching for their first victory of the season. They’ve endured lopsided losses to the Kansas City Chiefs (34-20 on the road) and, more recently, the Baltimore Ravens (33-16 at home), who combined for 26 regular season victories last year.
Houston has been particularly vulnerable against the run. They’ve ceded 396 rushing yards; only the Detroit Lions surrendered more across the first two weeks of the season.
“Sometimes we fit the run really well. Sometimes we get out of our gaps,” head coach Bill O’Brien said, according to ESPN.
He added: “We’ve got to look at our scheme and look at what we’re doing but this offense that we’re playing this week is completely different than that offense and the offense before that. It’s going to be a matter of what we think is the best thing to do versus Pittsburgh. We just have to — everybody’s got to do a better job. When you’re 0-2, you have to improve in every area.”
