Steelers-Chiefs NFL Week 16: What You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA — So you're saying there's a chance?

The Steelers toppled the number one seed in the AFC playoff hunt last week by defeating the Tennessee Titans 19-13 at Heinz Field. They have a chance to do it again this week in Kansas City versus the Chiefs.

Two key members of the Chiefs offense - tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Tyreek Hill - were placed on the team's COVID-19 restricted list this week and it's uncertain whether either will play. If they do not, that takes two of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' primary receiving targets out of the way.

That's not necessarily good, however, as having both out might tempt the Chiefs to run the football. The Steelers can't stop the run, as they have proven week after week this season no matter who the opposing team's running back might be.

The Steelers have dug themselves into a hole and need a win to keep digging out of it. That will be a tremendous challenge no matter who ends up playing for the Chiefs.
