The Houston Texans have zero qualms with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That doesn't mean that owner Cal McNair is looking to break bread with the AFC North franchise in the wild-card round come Monday night on ESPN.
“We’re not going up to make friends, we’re going up to win a game,” McNair told the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander. “And we’ll see what happens.”
Houston will look to advance to the divisional round for the third straight season under DeMeco Ryans with a win over the AFC North champions. Pittsburgh won four of its last five games, including a pair over the Baltimore Ravens to secure the division title.
Meanwhile, Houston is on the longest winning streak in the league, rattling off nine straight victories for a 12-win campaign. The Texans also boast the No. 1 defense that travels and can disrupt a game.
“They’re hungry. They want it bad,” Hannah McNair said of Monday's matchup.
The Texans enter as a 3.5-point road favorite. With a victory, Houston would potentially host a playoff game next Sunday, depending on the outcome of the AFC playoffs on Sunday afternoon.
