The Kansas City Chiefs secured the AFC’s top playoff seed with a 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, finishing the regular season with a 15-1 record. This win ensures the Chiefs a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. Patrick Mahomes threw a 49-yard pass to Justin Watson, marking his second-longest air pass of the season. Travis Kelce became the Chiefs’ all-time leader in touchdowns, surpassing Tony Gonzalez. Defensively, Mike Danna stepped up in Chris Jones’ absence, recording two sacks on Russell Wilson, contributing to the Chiefs’ total of five sacks. The Steelers, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive loss, dropping to 8-8. Despite the return of key players, Pittsburgh struggled offensively and defensively, allowing two first-quarter touchdowns to the Chiefs. Russell Wilson had an uneven performance, throwing for 205 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Steelers’ playoff spot is secured, but they no longer control their destiny for the division title. Next, the Chiefs will face the Broncos, likely resting key players, while the Steelers host the Bengals.
