#4 PIT 0 10 0 7 17

The Texans won their game thanks to a strong defensive performance, holding the Steelers to only 17 points. Although the offense didn’t have a standout game, quarterback C.J. Stroud effectively led them to victory, starting with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Nico Collins.

The Steelers quickly bounced back in the second quarter, scoring 10 points without a response from Houston. Aaron Rodgers connected with Calvin Austin III for a 3-yard touchdown, and Chris Boswell added a 36-yard field goal before halftime. However, Houston also had a reliable kicker who would ultimately decide the game’s outcome.

The Texans took a 16-10 lead in the fourth quarter thanks to three successful field goals by Ka’imi Fairbairn. However, Houston’s offense stalled after that, and the Steelers managed to score again. In a surprising play, Aaron Rodgers ran for a 10-yard touchdown – it was an incredible effort! The successful extra point gave Pittsburgh a one-point lead with only 2:37 remaining in the game.

This gave Houston a crucial opportunity with two drives. Their first drive stalled, forcing them to punt. On their second drive, they advanced to the Steelers’ 34-yard line. Kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn then made a 51-yard field goal to win the game, leaving the Steelers with only eight seconds remaining.

Okay, so we still had a shot, a real chance to pull off something amazing in Pittsburgh. But honestly? It just didn’t happen. It’s frustrating because that means Coach Tomlin still hasn’t gotten a playoff win for the Steelers, and now it looks like we’re all headed to Cancun instead of the Super Bowl. It’s a tough pill to swallow.

We did it! The Texans won and we’re heading to the Divisional Round! Fairbairn totally saved the day and deserves the game ball. Now it’s time to get ready for the next challenge!

That concludes our Madden 26 simulation of the Texans versus Steelers Wild Card game. Thanks for watching, and we’ll have more simulated games for you soon!

As a big fan, I’m really excited to hear you’re working on making the simulations even better! I’ve noticed something a little strange though – it doesn’t seem like changing the CPU or player settings actually affects the way CPU vs. CPU games play out. Hopefully, you can look into that! But overall, I’m glad to hear you’re still committed to improving these simulations – they’re a huge part of what I enjoy!
