Nico Collins (WR - HOU)

1/9/26 1:01 PM -
Nico Collins Won’t Be Joey Porter Jr.’s Problem Alone, Teryl Austin Says: ‘Not Going To Leave Him Out There’.

As early as his rookie season in 2023, Porter earned the coaches’ trust to execute those assignments. Gradually, however, they have moved away from that, preferring a more balanced secondary. […]

1/9/26 10:30 AM -
Pittsburgh’s Blitzes Are Working In A Big Way. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ blitz plan is working. Not a moment too soon.

‘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.

1/8/26 2:16 PM -
Mina Kimes Predicts ‘Immobile’ Aaron Rodgers Struggling Against Texans: ‘It’s Not Happening’. The Pittsburgh Steelers-Houston Texans game in the AFC Wild Card round on Monday Night Football is a juicy one, due in large part to the matchups on both sides of the ball.
