Knee-jerk analysis: Steelers need to make severe changes after getting bodied by Texans

SOS. Same old Steelers.

Is anyone really surprised at this point? The Texans were better than the Steelers from the opening kickoff. Houston drove down the field on Pittsburgh in 12 plays and scored a touchdown to go up 7-0 and never looked back. The Steelers played the same song they have all season thus far with their first half possessions. Here is what the Steelers did in the first two quarters:

  • Drive one: Eight plays, interception
  • Drive two: Three-and-out
  • Drive three: Three-and-out
  • Drive four: Five plays, punt
  • Drive five: Five plays, punt

The Texans outgained the Steelers 271-53 in the first half, and they had 15 first downs to the Steelers’ four.
