Steelers are not mentally tough. This Leveon Bell situation is going to carry onto the field. Browns got 21 on them in the rain. Lord knows how much the Chiefs will get on that defense. I picked the Chiefs for the Super Bowl this year, and they will have to win games like this to make it happen.

This is typically the game the steeers come put and looking amazing after they play down to the competitions. Think chiefs are trappyComment -
Chiefs might win today but their bad defense will catch up to them eventually.
They actually could have easily lost last week had the Chargers not dropped so many balls(many of them were would have been big plays).Comment -
Chiefs have been on the road 4 of last 5 weeks. BOL with this wager. Everyone on the Chiefs, they’re a trap.Comment -
They will miss Bell today. These are the games he helped them win last year. Ben Roth is wobbling, the other RB will be shut down and the Chiefs can score points. Could get ugly for Steelers.Comment -
Mike Tomlin’s Record vs Andy Reid
Not including Steelers and Eagles annual preseason match ups, Mike Tomlin is 5-2 against Andy Reid. Tomlin’s games against Reid came in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2015, the 2016 regular season, 2016 playoffs and the 2017 season, which provides a fairly good cross section of both coaches work.
In 2008 the Steelers and Eagles were both contenders, and the Eagles dominated Pittsburgh in that game but the Steelers went on to win Super Bowl XLIII.
By 2012, both the Steelers and Eagles were in re-building phases as the Steelers prevailed at Heinz Field. In 2014 both the Steelers and Chiefs were fighting to establish themselves as playoff contenders. The Steelers got the better of that December 2014 tussle, while the Chiefs stayed home in January.
By 2015 and 2016 both the Steelers and Chiefs had reestablished themselves as contenders. In fact, Tomlin’s last victory against Andy Reid came in October at Heinz Field as Le’Veon Bell, steamrolled the Kansas City to the tune of 43-14.
Tomlin’s last loss to Andy Reid came in October 2015, with Ben Roethlisberger injured and Landry Jones making his first, unsuccessful, start.
At the time it was viewed as a “Tomlin Trap Game” but the Chiefs went on to win 11 straight.
As recently as January 2017, those two games perhaps, ominously, highlight the operative trend in Mike Tomlin’s record against Andy Reid. At the time Mike Tomlin was 3-0 against Andy Reid at Heinz Field, but Andy Reid had never lost to Mike Tomlin at home.
That changed in 2016 as Le’Veon Bell and Chris Boswell led the Steelers to a narrow playoff win against the Chiefs at Arrowhead. And in 2017 the Steelers again returned to Kansas City, where the Steelers vanquished the Chiefs to the tune of 19-13.
Going into Pittsburgh’s 2018 home opener, the Steelers hold a 23-11 edge of the Chiefs and their edge improves to 11-4 while playing in Pittsburgh, where Kansas City has not won since 1986.Comment -

Hmm..according to my database not a great position historically. Since 1984, away dogs coming off a win at home are 499-1013-4 (~ 33.0%) straight up. Good luck man. I’m on the Steelers minus 5.Comment -

Rooting for Big Ben to pull a Rogers and win it late on one leg. Or with one good arm.Comment -

KLC breaking tvs nowComment -
Is Pat Mahomes the next big time QB in the NFL? I don't think he's going anywhere.Comment -
Picked Chiefs and Saints for the Super Bowl. Glad to see that one of them is doing well.Comment -
KC very impressive 2 Big road wins vs maybe 2 playoff teams - defense still a work- in process thoComment -
LeVeon Bell's phone going crazy now. Panic setting in for Steelers being winless and at the bottom of division.Comment
