Breaking Away
I think it has to be. What is that from?

Someone just pointed out to me that if the teams tie tonight, they both go to the playoffs. Could they just decide not to score tonight? 0-0?
Yes... they could kneel for 70 minutes theoretically.
Both teams have been asked about it and claimed they'd never consider doing something like that.

One scenario would allow the Raiders and Chargers to both make the playoffs with a tie.

How are the Steelers fans feeling at this exact moment, stomach tied in knots?
Well, the Raiders just scored in OT so the Stillers are going to the show.
But before that...
I think I may have jinx it.
Damn
Like I said, the Raiders just scored in OT so the Stillers are going to KC.

I'd just like to point out that in the final drive Ben converted 3rd and 7, 3rd and 9 and 4th and 8. Not bad.
Does anyone care to venture a guess as to why Ben plays so poorly in the first half but shined in the second half?
It's why they play 60 minutes.
The game is a series of ebbs and flows, kind of like life. You work hard so you can withstand the bad times and you keep pushing so you don't quit and miss the good times and hopefully time doesn't run out on you.
A Pittsburgh sports writer thought that the issue with Ben's slow first half has to do with the o-line. We have an undersized rookie at center that never really played the position in college. We have a rookie left tackle. I could go on but the short of it is, they are just not that good but defenses tire so by the second half the o-line has an easier job giving Ben more than a second and a half to throw the ball.
So what chance do the Steelers have against the Chiefs? About the same chance the Steelers had of making the playoffs.

About the same chance JAX had against the Colts.
The Chiefs are currently at a -13 spread. So pretty huge favorites. Per some gambling sites, that gives KC about a 90% chance to win.

Odds are definitely not good, but it'll be a good show. I'd like to see a Steelers W, but at this point, I have no expectations, I don't care. Just gonna make some KC type BBQ and watch a hopefully good game. Go Ben. Go Steelers!
Sportscasters in town were saying that the Steelers' chances for making the playoffs were at 4% before Sunday's game so a 10% chance to beat KC is not too bad. With covid who knows who might be available to play. I'd be okay if the 7th seed made t to the Super Bowl.
