Let's talk about the Steelers...
Here we go, one of the games we circled this year.... although I don't think anyone expected us to be headed back home for this one at 5-0, or for Pittsburgh to be 3-2.

We know the story. They had our number in 2016 with two crushing losses. A lot has changed in 9 months, though....

For one, quarterback play. Alex Smith 2.0 is legitimately playing like the best QB in the NFL right now. Ben Roethlisberger, coming off of a 5 interception performance, looks like one of the worst. He also showed his dramatic nature yesterday when he questioned if he had what it takes anymore toward the media.

Pittsburgh currently has the 28th ranked run defense in the NFL, and Kareem Hunt is playing like the NFL's best RB. Seems like a good recipe for us, especially since Mitch Morse and/or LDT should be back for Sunday. I would guess only Morse. Le'Veon Bell is not playing up to his normal standards thus far, as he has only looked dominant in one game. However, this looks like a tough matchup for us there, as we are the 20th ranked run defense and coming off of a bad performance Sunday night in that regard. Both offensive lines are solid groups, although Pittsburgh's has not been as dominant as they were last year.

Pittsburgh has the #1 ranked pass defense right now. Part of that likely stems from their quality of opponents so far. However, we are going to need Kelce Sunday. If the Chiefs have their three-headed monster against Pittsburgh, they are going to be able to put up points. I think they would against about anyone, if Smith is given serviceable pass protection.

Our pass defense is struggling statistically, although anyone who watched last night could tell you that they were almost always in position to make plays on the back end. The Houston receivers always made the play, though, unfortunately. The Chiefs could really use the boost of Dee Ford and Tamba Hali to help bring pressure off of both edges consistently. I think we will probably see Dee this week, but who knows. The great thing about being 5-0 right now is they still have a lot of room to improve. The defense is no where near as good as they can be. Hopefully they hit stride down the stretch in Dec/Jan when the temps drop down.

Predictions are highly dependent on injuries, but because of all of the drama in Pittsburgh right now and KC being at home-- I am taking KC.

Chiefs 30, Steelers 24

They NEED a win. Not just because of their record but the team needs a win for morale...
I mean, he's free to challenge Mitchell, but I was at Arrowhead for last year's playoff game.

Mitchell just shut down Hopkins, again, until the Chiefs stopped giving a shit. And last year in the playoffs he shut down Brown.

My only concern with KC's offense is the Steeler passrush.

We've played some nasty passrushes this year, but the Steelers can bring it ALMOST as well as the Eagles could.

Watt is really coming into his own, and Tuitt is a beast up the gut.

James Harrison was a healthy scratch last week, but I'd bet all the money in my pockets he's on the field for 45-50 snaps trying to snap holding penalties on Fisher.

He'll be hobbled, and it probably won't matter anyway. I'd be shocked if we don't drop 30 points on them twice this year.
The Raiders might have the worst secondary in the league.

Even before Carr went down Cooper couldn't catch AIDS in a bath house and Beast Mode has become Yeast Mode (he stinks.)

The wheels were coming off the Raider machine before any injuries...

That being said, I'm expecting an All World performance out of Eric Fisher this week.

Did a really solid job against Clowney, but this is the team that put him on a poster for the entire KC offseason.

Fisher has something to prove this week.

Hill and Hunt alone just throw all your plans out the window. You have to sell out against the run to slow Hunt down, which takes a ton of effort and wears you out. And Hill forces the secondary to play so deep it opens up the middle of everything for Kelce and Conley Robinson/Wilson/West.

You saw it against the Texans. They sold out to stop Hunt, Hill pushed their secondary so far down the field that Smith was just hitting Conley, Kelce, and Robinson for wide open passes in the middle.

The combo of Hunt and Hill alone basically make this the Air Raid offense.

They have the ability to abuse our beat up line.

On the other hand Andy has been magic this year with the game plan. The Steelers have been very vulnerable vs. physical runners this year and that secondary is still very beatable.

Fun fact. They have been struggling and Alex Smith will be the best QB they have faced so far this season

Seems like The Chiefs played the Steelers last year right after the Steelers got their ass kicked the week before.
