What’s Going To Happen, Who’s Going To Win the AFC Wild Card
Just how much juice can Ben Roethlisberger bring to this?
The defense will give up a big play or two, but it needs to win third downs – it’s great at that. For all the great things the Chiefs did in the first win, they only converted on 4-of-11 third down chances – Pittsburgh would take that stat in a heartbeat.
The Steelers have to get Najee Harris going early. Time of possession usually doesn’t mean anything to a Kansas City team with is capabilities, but it won’t have Clyde Edwards-Helaire and it’s going against a D with a pass rush that could screw everything up fast.
But it’s not going to happen.
It won’t be a total wipeout like the first meeting, but the Chiefs will score on their opening drive, hold, get a field goal for a 10-0 lead, and they’ll keep a good enough distance the whole way.
Pittsburgh will have its chances to break through, and the Kansas City defense will rise up to keep the drama to a minimum.
