NFL play-offs: Houston Texans beat Pittsburgh Steelers; the end for Aaron Rodgers?

F

Fantastic

Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a crushing defeat in their Wildcard Weekend game against the Houston Texans, losing 30-6. The Texans' defensive performance was outstanding, forcing three turnovers from the Steelers' quarterback and holding them to just one score throughout much of the contest.

The final quarter saw the Texans surge ahead with three touchdowns, two of which were scored by their defense, further cementing the Steelers' fate in the game. With this win, Houston advances to the Divisional Round of the playoffs for the first time since 2019 and becomes the fifth seed in the AFC.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers is facing a seemingly impossible decision - whether or not to continue his storied career. Rodgers joined the Steelers on a one-year deal earlier this season but stated that he believes it may be the last game in his illustrious 42-year career.

If Rodgers does retire after this loss, it would be an unceremonious end to what was expected to be the final chapter of a remarkable story. Despite being considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, Rodgers' performance on Monday night was abysmal - with a passer rating of just 50.8 and a heartbreaking interception that sealed his team's fate.

With the Steelers now out of the playoffs, they will need to look inward to assess what went wrong, while Houston is set for an exciting ride ahead as the 10-game winning streak continues.

The Texans will face off against the New England Patriots next Sunday in the Divisional Round, looking forward to another high-stakes showdown and hoping to keep their remarkable season alive.

The NFL play-offs have reached a critical point with many teams vying for that ultimate prize - the championship title.
 
🤯 what's goin on w/ Aaron Rodgers rn? he had such an epic career, but this last game was straight trash 🚮 50.8 passer rating is just sad... i feel bad for him, 'cause this would be like the end of a beautiful story 😢 and now he gotta decide if he's done or not... that's so tough to choose. hope he can get back on track 👍
 
omg what's going on with Aaron Rodgers?? 🤯 he's got one year left and this kinda performance is not how you wanna go out 🚫 50.8 passer rating?! that's just brutal 😩 i mean, the Texans were on fire but come on Aaron, you're one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME! 🙌 this loss is a bummer for Steelers fans too, they were so hyped about Rodgers coming to the team 🤔 and now it feels like it was all for nothing 💔
 
AARON ROGERS IS FINALLY TAKING A LOOK AT HIS FUTURE AND THAT'S REALLY SAD TO SEE 🤕... I mean, the dude is one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME and he's ending it on a 30-6 loss? That just doesn't feel right. I wish him all the best but I'm gonna miss watching him play. The Steelers are already looking to rebuild for next season and that's a shame because they had some great games this year! 😔
 
Ugh, what a game 🤕! I'm still trying to process how bad Rodgers was out there 😂. 50.8 passer rating? That's just not Aaron Rodgers 💔. And to be honest, the Steelers' performance wasn't that great either 🤦‍♂️. But you gotta give it to the Texans - they played some crazy good defense 👏! Holding them to one score for most of the game was a masterclass.

I don't know what's gonna happen with Rodgers now 🤔, but if he retires after this loss it'll be a shame 😢. He's had an amazing career and deserved so much more than a 30-6 beating 💔. But hey, at least the Texans are getting to ride the wave of momentum 👊. They're gonna have a tough game against the Pats next week, but I'm still rooting for 'em 🤞!
 
Wow! 🤯 Aaron Rodgers just threw an interception that sealed his team's fate 😱, what are they gonna do now? 💔 He needs to figure out if he's good enough to lead them through the playoffs or it might be time to hang up those cleats 👋. The Texans on the other hand are ON FIRE 🔥, can they keep this momentum going? 🤔
 
man what a game 🤯😱 Aaron Rodgers is having a rough season and now this 💔 30-6 is just devastating for the Steelers, they were so close but it didn't work out 😕. I think he should retire after this loss, it's time to pass the torch to the younger guys 👋. Houston's defense was on point, I'm loving their newfound success 🙌 and now they're gonna face off against the Patriots in the Divisional Round... that's gonna be a tough one 😬. Can't wait for the playoffs, drama and excitement guaranteed! #NFLPlayoffs #WildcardWeekend #SteelersNation #TexansOnTheRise
 
idk what's more depressing - aaron rodgers' performance tonight 🤦‍♂️ or the fact he might be retiring after this loss 😔. like, the guy's been carrying teams on his back for years and now he gets to go out with a whimper? sad. and poor steeler fans who were hyped about him joining the team only to get schooled by the texans 💥. at least the patriots will be in for a treat next week 🤪. can't wait to see if the texans can keep up their 10-game win streak 🔁👀
 
omg i just watched the whole game lol what happened to Aaron Rodgers he looked so off his usual self 🤔💥 did he get hurt or something? i felt bad for him and the Steelers they were counting on him so much 😞 i also love how the Texans' defense is on fire 🔥 three touchdowns from them?! that's insane 🤯 i wonder if Aaron will retire after this loss, it would be such a shame 🙏 but like he said it might be the last game of his career, 42 years is a looong time 🕰️ i need to watch more football vids now 😂
 
I don’t usually comment but I gotta say, Aaron Rodgers is like, totally done after that game 🤯 He got absolutely roasted by the Texans' defense and it was like watching him throw interceptions left and right 🙈 Like what happened to this guy? You're one of the greatest QBs in history and you can't even get past a Wildcard game without getting destroyed 😂 The Steelers shoulda stuck with Ben Roethlisberger, fam 👊
 
😩 I'm really bummed out for Aaron Rodgers, he's given it his all on the field and still came up short in this one. His stats just aren't where they need to be right now and that interception was a major letdown. 🤦‍♂️ It's crazy to think that if he decides to retire after this season, it'll probably end with a loss like this - not exactly the farewell we all want for him.

As for the Steelers, well... you can't win 'em all, but it was clear they were outmatched by the Texans. Their defense was on point and I've gotta give 'em props for stepping up their game when it counted most. 🙌

But let's be real, this is what the playoffs are all about - high stakes and crazy comebacks... or crushing defeats like tonight. 😅 Either way, there's always next week and the Texans are gonna be looking to keep that winning streak alive. Bring on the Patriots! 🤩
 
idk why ppl r trashin Aaron Rodgers like dat 🤔 he's havin a bad game but thats football fam, its all about bouncin back from adversity. 30-6 is a tough loss but u can't put it on one guy, especially when ur whole team got shut down by the Texans' defense 💪. and 10-game win streak? that's crazy talk! they're gonna take it one game at a time, just like the Steelers did this season 🤞. let's not forget, Rodgers joined them mid-season so he's had to adjust & lead from day 1. u gotta feel for the guy, especially if he is thinkin bout hangin up his cleats after this 💕
 
man... that's such a bummer for Aaron Rodgers' last game 😔🏈 u gotta feel bad 4 him, one yr deal & all 🤕. but like, is it really worth gettin outta the game when he could just lead his team to another win? idk, i think about how great it'd be 2 see him ride off into the sunset on a high note 😊🏆 instead of gettin' benchwarmered like that 🤦‍♂️. anywayz, congrats 2 the Texans, they def earned dat spot in the playoffs 💪🏽🔥. Patriots next w/kin 👀
 
I'm shocked by how quickly Rodgers is getting outplayed 🤯... I mean, 42 years of his career and this is how it ends? One game doesn't define him though 👊... He's had incredible seasons before, so maybe he'll bounce back from this one 💪. Still, the Steelers got out-coached by the Texans and that's not on Rodgers alone 🤔. The Texans' defense was straight fire 🔥, no need to blame anyone else for their loss 😩. Can't wait to see what Houston does next though! They're on a roll 🎉
 
I'm telling you, something fishy is going on with Aaron Rodgers' career. I mean, one day he's all about retirement, and the next, he's still trying to prove himself? 🤔 The way he was getting killed out there by those Texans, it was like they knew his secrets or something. And that interception? Unbelievable! 😱 You can't just give away a game like that. I'm starting to think it's all part of some big scheme... maybe the Steelers wanted him to fail so they could get that first-round draft pick? 🤑 What do you guys think? 🤷
 
I'm low-key devastated for Aaron Rodgers, he was having one of those nights where everything just fell apart 🤕😩. 50.8 passer rating is straight trash 😂. Meanwhile, the Texans are on a roll and I love it! They've got the momentum and now they get to face off against the Patriots in the next round 💪🏽. New England's defense has been playing so solid, I'm thinking they're gonna give Houston a run for their money 🤔. And can we talk about Rodgers' contract situation? It's like he knew this was gonna be his last game and just wanted to go out with a bang 💥.
