The Chiefs and Steelers faced off, with the Chiefs coming out on top with a dominant 29-10 victory. This win secured the Chiefs the number one seed in the AFC playoffs, giving them a well-deserved break before the postseason. With a 15-1 record, the Chiefs have nothing to prove in their upcoming game against the Broncos. Injured players like Chris Jones, D. J. Humphries, and Isiah Pacheco can now focus on recovery, as their presence isn’t crucial for the final regular-season game.

Patrick Mahomes played a key role, throwing three touchdowns. One of these went to Travis Kelce, who now holds the franchise record for the most touchdown catches. Kelce also became the 15th player in NFL history to reach 1, 000 career catches. Mahomes finished with a solid performance, completing 29 of 38 passes for 320 yards.

The Steelers managed to keep the game close for three quarters, but the tide turned in the fourth quarter. Kareem Hunt scored quickly followed by a fumble from Pat Freiermuth, which led to another Chiefs touchdown. Russell Wilson’s struggles continued with an interception and five sacks, highlighting Pittsburgh’s issues.

Steelers fans hope they can still clinch the AFC North title, but they need to address their performance problems to have a shot at a longer playoff run.
