After it looked like Thielen wasn't going to be in the playoffs this season, the Minnesota Vikings cut him loose, allowing him to be claimed by the Steelers.
Over the last three weeks of the season, Thielen started finding his rhythm in Pittsburgh's offense.
However, he's off to a slow start in the wild-card game against the Houston Texans on Monday night. Here's why.
UPDATE: Midway through the second quarter and Thielen has not been targeted once. Pittsburgh might want to get him more involved with the offense struggling.
Yes, Thielen is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted yet.

The Steelers picked up a few first downs on their first drive, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers only threw two passes, completing one of them to wide receiver DK Metcalf.
We'll see if Thielen can get going on the next drive.
