Monday Night Football: Texans lead Steelers 7-6 at halftime despite two turnovers

At halftime of Monday Night Football, the Houston Texans lead the Pittsburgh Steelers 7-6. Houston's top-ranked defense has effectively contained Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has completed 9 of 15 passes for 75 yards and been sacked twice. The Steelers have managed only 94 total yards, with turnovers giving them favorable field positions at their own 44 and Houston's 21, but they have only converted these opportunities into a single field goal.

Chris Boswell has scored field goals from 32 and 35 yards, while the Steelers have struggled in the red zone, going 0-for-2. Wide receiver DK Metcalf has contributed with two receptions for 42 yards, despite one drop.

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has fumbled four times, losing two, but has been supported by a strong defensive performance. Stroud has completed 13 of 20 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown. Houston's scoring came from a 14-play,
