The Pittsburgh Steelers bucked an early lead by the Houston Texans to turn a 13-point deficit to a 24-13 halftime lead and went on to get the easy 30-23 victory on Monday Night Football in the National Football League (NFL). The Steelers, which has alternated wins and losses this season thus far, improved to 4-3 for the season while the Texans dropped to 3-4 and their third consecutive defeat after losses to the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys in previous weeks.

Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdowns (233 yards, 23-of-33 completions) and Pittsburgh had three touchdowns in the final two minutes of the first half.
