A Pittsburgh Steelers vs Jacksonville Jaguars head-to-head matchup does not exist in the current data window. The two AFC clubs were not scheduled against each other in the 2025 NFL regular season — Pittsburgh plays in the AFC North and Jacksonville in the AFC South, and the 2025 interconference rotation did not pair them. Instead, this post covers the most recent completed game for each team, both of which happened to be AFC Wild Card playoff games in January 2026, with full player stats, scoring plays, and key performance highlights.

Houston Texans 30, Pittsburgh Steelers 6 — AFC Wild Card, January 13, 2026

Pittsburgh’s 2025 season ended in the worst possible fashion — a 30–6 home playoff loss to the Houston Texans in which Aaron Rodgers threw for zero touchdowns, was sacked four times, threw an interception returned 50 yards for a touchdown, and fumbled into the end zone for another Houston score. The Steelers generated only 175 total yards, punted six times, and never reached the end zone in four quarters. Houston poured on 23 fourth-quarter points to turn a narrow 6–7 halftime game into a playoff rout.

Buffalo Bills 27, Jacksonville Jaguars 24 — AFC Wild Card, January 11, 2026

Jacksonville pushed Buffalo to the final minute before falling 27–24 in a back-and-forth AFC Wild Card thriller at TIAA Bank Field. Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes and the Jaguars led 24–20 with just over four minutes remaining, but Josh Allen’s late 2-yard rushing touchdown with 1:05 left gave Buffalo the lead they never surrendered. Lawrence threw 2 interceptions that proved costly, and a missed Jacksonville field goal attempt in the second half kept the door open for Buffalo’s comeback. The Jaguars outgained the Bills in total yards (359 to 340) but the turnovers made the difference.
