You're right that any team can win any game, but the Steelers defense isn't very good. They're the worst rushing D in the league. They're bottom half or bottom third in most categories. The only thing they do well is TJ Watt gets a lot of sacks and they have a fairly decent pass D. They're #20 in points allowed. They're the most penalized D in the NFL for almost the most yards (Titans barely top them).
I had their defense/special teams in my league this season and they sucked almost every week. They were projected to be a top 5 defense before the season. But god, after looking at both their offensive and defensive stats, I don't see how they're even in the playoffs. If the Chiefs don't have any bonehead turnovers or mistakes, the Steelers
should be in for a rough night.
