Absolutely shocked they gave the Chiefs a look like that. I guess they thought the Chiefs can't produce big plays anymore. Gross miscalculation.

The Steelers came out in 2-deep shells and couldn't get the stops in the 2nd quarter. They went back to their base defense more in the 3rd and started giving those single high looks.
It's pretty simple - now that the Chiefs have learned some discipline and patience in the offense, opposing defenses have to choose between running out of time to catch up vs. letting the Chiefs score deep. Either way, the Chiefs are going to score and sitting back in cover 2 and letting the Chiefs control the clock, and the game, just isn't working anymore.
