"Sheldon Rankins returned a fumble by Aaron Rodgers 33 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to highlight a dominant performance by the NFL's top-ranked defense, and the Houston Texans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6 on Monday night for the first road playoff win in franchise history. The Texans' win means they will play the New England Patriots in the divisional round on Sunday night. CJ Stroud turned the ball over three times but also threw a first-half touchdown pass to Christian Kirk, who had eight catches for 144 yards."
"Marks' 13-yard touchdown run with 3:43 to go sealed the game, and Calen Bullock added Houston's second defensive score with a 50-yard pick-six less than a minute later on Rodgers' final throw of the game and possibly his 21-year career. Rodgers passed for just 146 yards as the Steelers were held to 175 yards of offense."
"After Monday's game the 42-year-old, a four-time NFL MVP, said he would wait to make a decision about his future. I'm not going to make any emotional decisions, he told reporters. It's been such a fun year, a lot of adversity, a lot of fun, a great year overall. It's disappointing to be sitting here with the season over. Asked if he had approached Monday's game as if it could be his farewell, he replied: Every game could be my final game."
