If you are a typical NFL fan, you sat and watched Super Bowl 54 even without a rooting interest. This is the same for Pittsburgh Steelers fans who, despite being sour from missing the playoffs, likely tuned in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers.

If you were a Steelers fan watching the game, you had to look on with some envy at how both of these teams operate and wonder if Pittsburgh could learn anything as they attempt to come back in 2020 after a two-year playoff drought.

Here are three takeaways from the game for the Steelers to consider.

It is remarkable to me, in 2020 to understand why the Steelers have not embraced the idea of using the tight end position more in the passing game. But after watching how Travis Kelce and George Kittle impacted their respective teams all season and in the Super Bowl, you hope the Pittsburgh coaches can find a way to bring the Steelers offense into the present.
