PITTSBURGH, PA — The Houston Texans come into Heinz Field on Sunday with an 0-2 record, but their losses have come against the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens. The Texans also boast one of the league's best quarterbacks in Deshaun Watson.

That's an upgrade over Jeff Driskel, the Denver Broncos backup quarterback who nearly led his team to an upset victory over the Steelers last week. So the Steelers should not take anything for granted as they attempt to start the season with a 3-0 record.

Here's what you need to know about the game:
