Steelers’ playoff game moved back to Sunday night

Those numbers alone would be enough to drive him to the bench in many cities, and in fact did just that when Colin Kaepernick earned the starting job over him in San Francisco.

McCaffrey can do so many things on the football field to change the course of the game, and playing in Kansas City would enable him to go straight to a victor out of college. On Sunday you can see Pittsburgh’s showdown with Kansas City from 5.30pm and Green Bay’s trip to Dallas. They put on quite a show against the Fins. With all of its ups and downs as a franchise, the Chiefs own a 9-16 record in the playoffs.

“I think a postseason challenge on the road is one thing”, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said, “but at a legendary venue like that is something else”. While the Steelers could survive it against the Dolphins, especially up double digits at the time, the Chiefs won’t let him get away with it. There has only been one playoff meeting in their history, a 27-24 overtime loss in Kansas City back in 1994. Yes, you read that right.

“They didn’t hang their head”, Reid said. The Steelers beat Kansas City 43-14 in Week 4, marking Pittsburgh’s biggest win and the Chiefs’ biggest loss of the season.

Donovan said the league and the team consulted with state and local partners, including Kansas City Mayor Sly James. “Good game plans, executing well, all that stuff and certainly, you’re a reflection of that”. The victor of this game nearly surely will head to New England next Sunday for the conference championship. But you can’t argue about the successes that these organizations have had. On offense the Chiefs recent success has come around two players, TE Travis Kelce and WR/KR/PR Tyreek Hill, and will need to have them continue to step up if they are to keep up with other offenses during a playoff push.

DeCamillis spent the past two seasons as the special teams coordinator for the Denver Broncos.

As for the defense, again, it was a long time ago, but Pittsburgh’s pass rush, which barely registered a pulse over the first three games, sacked quarterback Alex Smith four times on October 2.

“He’s a guy that from the jump was getting sprinkled in from the start”, Smith said.

But, I urge you to turn that anxiousness into excitement.

Bell is known as the most patient runner in the National Football League, which creates problems for a defense that has a tendency to get exhausted in the fourth quarter.

Arrowhead Stadium has the reputation of being a hard venue for opposing teams. With eight straight victories to their credit, the Steelers have plenty of momentum heading into Arrowhead Stadium to face a team they have already soundly beaten in 2016. Fans have been through their fair share of ups and downs.

Kansas City comes into the contest well rested after a bye last week.

Still, the two-time Super Bowl victor knows he needs to be sharper on the road against a team that created 21 of its 33 takeaways in the red-clad sea of noise at Arrowhead Stadium. “For us this week, the points of emphasis are to reduce turnovers and score when we have the opportunity because we know how the Steelers’ offence can be explosive”. The Patriots would likely be looming next Sunday.
