There could be some gamesmanship here too..if the Steelers win the division then the Ravens could be playing at KC for round two.
Ravens win the division...they would likely go to the Bills in round two. Bills are the only team to beat KC...and the Ravens throttled Buffalo. It's a bad match-up for them...
Ravens/Steelers play the Sunday before the KC/Steelers match-up...so the outcome could factor in how they approach it.
If the Chiefs are at 13-1 (coupled with a Buffalo loss to the Lions), they can actually...to a certain extent, dictate who their likely opponent would be in the divisional round.
Would KC eat a potential loss and play vanilla against the Steelers - if it meant they would have to play the Ravens?
