Steelers get walloped on Christmas vs the Chiefs

Well, you can’t say it was because the Pittsburgh Steelers weren’t healthy. You can’t say it wasn’t because they were on the road. You can’t even blame the officials. Nope, Pittsburgh decided to celebrate Christmas by gifting the Kansas City Chiefs a blowout win for KC.

The Cheifs came to Pittsburgh and bullied the Steelers en route to a 29-10 win. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was masterful in carving up the highest-paid defense in the NFL who had no answers to stopping the pass.

On offense, the Steelers got wide receiver George Pickens back but it didn’t seem to help. Quarterback Russell Wilson has seriously regressed during this losing streak and looks more like the guy who struggled with the Denver Broncos than the guy from earlier in the season.

Now the Steelers need to hope the Baltimore Ravens lose to the Houston Texans so they can hold onto their lead in the AFC North going into the final week of the regular season.
