Steelers take 23-game Monday night home winning streak into wild-card round

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face the Houston Texans in a Monday night wild-card game, marking their first Monday night playoff game under the new format. The Steelers have an impressive record in Monday night home games, having won 23 consecutive contests since their last loss on October 14, 1991, against the New York Giants. However, head coach Mike Tomlin is currently on a six-game playoff losing streak, just one loss short of the record held by former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. The Steelers have not secured a postseason victory since January 2017 during the divisional round against Kansas City. This game will test either Pittsburgh's long-standing Monday night home winning streak or Tomlin’s playoff challenges.
