This team overcame two 14 point turnarounds today

Mahomes could have had 7 Td's today except for the fumble.

Crazy!

That and the KC offense going into conservative mode to run the clock. Game was tied at halftime.

If the Steelers were able to keep better pace in the 2nd half, I think Mahomes would have gone for 8+ TD's if necessary. Steelers just weren't efficient enough to keep pace which gave the Chiefs a comfortable lead until Conley fumble.

1st and 10 from the Steelers 36 with 5:07 to go. Conley fumbled. I was so pissed because it seemed that was the perfect time to pound Kareem Hunt 2 plays in a row - maybe 3 - and at minimum get a FG. Then it would be all but over.

The perfect punt that led to a safety before that was a huge momentum swinger as well. Really there were about 5 or 6 times this game was tinkering on blowout territory. I'd love to see a replay of the Scandrick "holding" that took points off the board.

That was just a bad playcalling on the run out of the endzone. Usually that's the plan is to pound it out of the endzone but PM could've easily done a short pass to get us out of there.

Yeah it was. I was pleased they went for a 99 yard bomb to Tyreek on 1st down at least. The Steelers were lucky we didn't drop 3 or 4 more bombs on their asses. Just missed. That's ok. Keep slingin.

Agreed; I loved the 1st down call but the run seemed so slow developing after all those really fast plays, should have called something quick and short - one missed tackle and either Hill or Watkins will take it to the house.

But get some breathing room before calling the ISO.

Or at least a QB sneak is better than going backwards 5 yards for a handoff in the end zone.

we all would.

In last year's @Oakland flagfest with Oall and getting like 4 or 5 untied downs to get the winning TD...there was a holding call on Murray that was the biggest bunch of bullshit...

Make no mistake, the refs TRIED to give this game to Pit. And in the past, we would've curled up in the Matt Cassel fetal position and choked.

Mahomes has already erased that.

With this guy behind these weapons, we are NEVER out of a game.

I have no doubt, he probably was holding, he has to at times, to make up for his lack of speed, as he's getting older. But, in his defense, he did seem to use his veteran savy to force WR's to the sidelines multiple times, making them change their routes a bit. He's probably doing all he can do, with the talent he has left. I would hope one of the late pickups during the preseason could develop quickly, as Im sure they have more speed to utilize. Just my opinion.
