First look at the AFC championship game

Any season the Baltimore Ravens fail to make the playoffs or come up short in their Super Bowl pursuit is considered a disappointing one by the coaches and players.

On Sunday night, in an 18-16 win over the Chiefs, he had 170 yards on 30 carries employing that approach. I know it’s painful to think about, but just do it. “It’s time to settle it next week”. Sportsbooks lost money on both games, as the 5.5-point underdog Packers and 2-point underdog Steelers both won.

And they’ll talk about that holding call that effectively ended Kansas City’s dream season. The next try failed. Cairo Santos’ kickoff was returned 28 yards by Justin Gilbert.

After a convincing 34-16 victory over the mediocre Houston Texans, the Patriots have turned their eye to the dynamic Steelers offense featuring the likes of Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, who had a field day against the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round. While neither team is coming off of its most dominating performance of the season, it’s all about surviving and advancing at this stage of the game.

The Patriots defense will be put under the microscope this week as it attempts to limit the damage Bell and Brown cause.

“If you need the “revenge factor” in the playoffs to help you win, something is wrong with you”, Roethlisberger said.

This win sends Pittsburgh to New England next week to take on the Patriots in the AFC championship. The Kansas City defense played a great game under the circumstances against a tough opponent, as it didn’t allow the Steelers a touchdown. It marked the second time in four games that Boswell had six field goals.

Kansas City’s offense, which had only managed 10 points through three and a half quarters, took over possession with just under 10 minutes left in the fourth. He added a 36-yarder to cap a 14-play drive on which Pittsburgh again barely huddled. Even though the Chiefs had several earlier opportunities to turn the game in their favor, this was the last one. Smith was hit by Bud Dupree just as he was about to release the football, and Shazier grabbed the pop up out of the air.

The first time the Steelers kicked to the Chiefs, Boswell tried a squib kick that tight end Demetrius Harris returned 25 yards to the 45, giving them a short field to score their first touchdown.

When Pittsburgh played the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2016 regular season, the Steelers scored three touchdowns in the first quarter on their way to a 43-14 victory on October 2.

This is the second time this season the world will be watching a Chiefs/Steelers matchup on Sunday Night Football, with one difference – this time it’s in Arrowhead Stadium. Don’t really think too much.

“When the guy’s arm is wrapped around your neck, I believe that’s a hold”.

And it’s sure to provide a bit of pregame motivation for Tom Brady and the team, who’ll be looking to dismantle Pittsburgh for a chance at the big leagues.
