DJ's absence in that game made such a huge impact in our work to stop Bell. Just like Houston's absence did against Brady in the year previous, and Berry's absence did the following year.
Chris Jones being absent in the 2019 divisional match would have previously spelled a similar doom for KC. Or half the offense getting injured in the 2022 AFCCG (like the 2013 playoffs).

I never go back and watch the playoff games that we lost, but I don’t remember us forcing the Steelers to punt. I think we got a pick in the end zone and of course the 6 FG’s. I forgot that game was also the year that DJ went out with the Achilles right at the end of the season.
