The Pittsburgh Steelers have a ton on the line in their home game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The team’s chances of clinching a playoff birth largely rest on their ability to stop or at least slow down Kansas City’s potent rushing attack featuring the two-headed monster of Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis. Keeping Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith contained and limiting explosive plays from tight end Travis Kelce are tough orders but make no mistake, stymying the Chiefs running attack is the top priority.
If the Steelers can stifle the Chiefs’ running game they can win this ball game. The Chiefs passing attack is not potent enough to carry the offense. Alex Smith doesn’t turn the ball over but the Steelers defense has to take the run away in order to force him into some third and longs and get this offense off the field.
