Houston’s largely in control of this game, but is limited to a 7-6 lead thanks to a pair of lost C.J. Stroud fumbles.
Houston’s defense is swarming Pittsburgh and held the Steelers without a third-down conversion in the first half. The Houston run game is the best offensive unit on the field and has 84 yards on 5.4 yards per carry.
But Stroud has lost two fumbles on strip sacks to allow the Steelers to keep things close.
