1/9/26 8:20 AM -
‘Definitely An Advantage’ To Steelers Being Underdogs, Aaron Rodgers Says. Despite hosting their first playoff game since 2020, the Steelers are underdogs going into Monday night against the Texans.

Nico Collins (WR - HOU)

1/9/26 8:01 AM -

1/8/26 2:16 PM -
Mina Kimes Predicts ‘Immobile’ Aaron Rodgers Struggling Against Texans: ‘It’s Not Happening’.
