AFC Playoff picture: Chiefs hold a 13-7 halftime lead over Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens can control their own destiny in the AFC North if the Pittsburgh Steelers lose to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17

Baltimore is in Houston on Christmas Day for a critical matchup against the Texans, but the most significant gift could come from their rival Chiefs against the even bigger rival Steelers.

Kansas City scored the first two times they had the football, and after intercepting Russell Wilson in the end zone, the blowout appeared to be on. Russell Wilson’s one-yard touchdown run cut the Chiefs’ lead to 13-7 with 10:28 left to play in the first half, with Kansas City getting the ball to kick off the final 30 minutes.

A Chiefs win would drop the Steelers to 10-6 on the season. However, defeating the Texans and Browns to close the season would give the Ravens a clear path to the AFC North division title.

Wilson is 10-of-15 for 105 yards, and Patrick Mahomes is 14-of-18 for 143 yards and touchdown passes to Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson.
