The Steelers defense beat the cardinals.
Teams that offensive first, like the 2011 packers, the 2007 patriots, the 2011 patriots, tend to lose in the playoffs when they cant run the ball, and cant get stops........

You are spot on.
I really think the best analogue to the 2013 chiefs are the 2011-2012 niners. Same quarterback, similar team strengths.
Look at the kind of teams they lost to:
- lost to the cowboys in Week 2 of 2011
- lost to the Ravens
- lost to the Giants
- lost to the Cardinals
- lost to the Vikings
- lost to the Giants
None of them were high-flying passing attack teams. All of them were against teams with defenses that were playing well at the time.
On the other hand, they beat the Dream Team Eagles, the packers twice, and the Saints.
I don't think these types of teams are what the Chiefs need to worry about. It is balanced teams that are tough
