Texans S Calen Bullock: Everyone knows we're the best defense
Our Summary
The Houston Texans' defense delivered a standout performance in their playoff debut, shutting out the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half and securing a 30-6 victory. This win marks only the second instance in NFL playoff history where a team scored multiple defensive touchdowns while preventing their opponents from scoring any touchdowns. Safety Calen Bullock contributed significantly with a 50-yard interception return for a touchdown, potentially intercepting one of Aaron Rodgers' final NFL passes. Bullock asserted the Texans' status as the league's best defense. The victory advances the Texans to face the New England Patriots in the divisional round, where they will encounter a more challenging offensive opponent. A win could propel the Texans to their first-ever AFC title game.
