The Houston Texans will play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football tonight with both teams looking to claim the win that would push them into the winning-record territory. The game is scheduled to start at 8.30 p.m. ET and takes place at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The game can be watched on TV on the ESPN network, or online through ESPN live stream (details below).
Both teams come into tonight's game on 3-3 and they will both know how different their outlook would be if they leave tonight being on 4-3 rather than 3-4.
For the Texans, they will be trying to halt a slide that has seen them lose two straight games. They were looking good on 3-1 and were hoping to push on and establish themselves as potential contenders for a postseason spot as the season headed towards its midway point. However, a few weeks can see many things change, and after two straight losses they now find themselves struggling to hold on to their season.

If Houston fall to a third straight loss tonight then many would begin to write them off for a Playoffs spot, where as a victory would keep them firmly in the "maybe" category.
The Texans have been in and out of form this season, but the Steelers are perfectly inconsistent so far after six weeks of play; they have alternated between wins and losses in each game so far, and they will be hoping that trend can continue as last week they lost 10-31 to the Cleveland Browns, meaning they are now due a win.
The Steelers lost the last time they were at Heinz Field in Week 4 when they fell to Tampa Bay. However, overall their record at home is impressive, and they have won six of eight games at the stadium.
More worrying for them is the fact that Ben Roethlisberger has been sacked 17 times through the first six games, which is the second-highest total in the NFL coming into Week 7.
The quarterback though refuses to panic yet. He has said ahead of the game: "There's no time to panic. You guys are waiting for us to panic. We're not panicking," according to AP.
