This is a tough question to answer, but it’s easy to pick a winner based on the game’s results. The Steelers lost despite flexing their muscles on both sides of the football. The Kansas City offense was dominant, and Patrick Mahomes, who has been on the bubble for the last two seasons, looked more like an MVP candidate than usual. Meanwhile, Jerick McKinnon ran for 61 yards and caught six passes for 81 yards and a touchdown.

The Chiefs had a huge advantage in the running game, but the Steelers didn’t have a good ground game. By forcing Ben Roethlisberger to throw, they will give Patrick Mahomes plenty of time to shine. The Steelers’ offense, meanwhile, scored between 10 and 20 points per game. That means this game will depend on the defense, and the Steelers’ is one of the worst in the league.

The Steelers were slowed by their pass defense. They had a 2.03-second average time to throw, which limited their ability to create a pass rush. Big Ben, meanwhile, was under pressure the whole game. The Chiefs defense was a huge help, generating four pressures as a unit. Edge defender Michael Danna and interior defender Tershawn Wharton both contributed two sacks. In addition to that, the Chiefs had an offensive standout in Willie Gay Jr., who played seventeen snaps, gathered a quarterback hit, and had two passing stops. Rookie Nick Bolton made a big impact, logging 61 rushing yards and 81 receiving yards.

The Steelers had the ball on their own 30-yard line early in the game. They punted three times and had two turnovers. However, a fumble by Darrel Williams on the Steelers’ first possession sparked a new energy for the Chiefs. After the punt, the Steelers scored on six of their next seven possessions, sending Kansas City to the divisional round. After a scoreless first quarter, Ben Roethlisberger finally threw for over 400 yards and sent the Chiefs packing to a victory.

The Steelers started off by kicking the ball and kicking off the game with a touchdown from Johnson. Then, they needed to drive the ball down the field, but their defense allowed the Chiefs to score 28 points. The Steelers’ defense, which is one of the worst in the NFL, is a major concern. The Chiefs have a great quarterback in Patrick Mahomes and could beat them in the AFC championship.

The Chiefs were looking to end their playoff drought. The Steelers have won four straight games and were a mediocre team during the 2017 AFC Divisional Playoffs. But, this season, they have become a dominant force in the NFL. They are now in the AFC Championship Game. The Steelers have made the playoffs in four of the last five seasons. They are looking to win their first AFC West title since the Super Bowl.
