Divisional Week
Pittsburgh Steelers (9-8) @ Kansas City Chiefs (14-2) 
The Pittsburgh Steelers came to Arrowhead, and they were massacred! Coach Tomlin and the Steelers felt confident coming in, but that soon changed.
The Chiefs drew first blood when HB Larry Johnson went in from 1yd out. The Steelers responded with an amazing drive, but were stopped at the 1yd line and Coach Tomlin decided to go for 3 rather than the TD. Steelers 3 Chiefs 7.
Chiefs add another score when QB Blake Strickland finds WR Dwayne Bowe for a 41yd TD strike. The Steelers can't do anything and have to punt. Then it looks like the Black and Gold catch a break when CB B. McFadden forces a fumble and goes 46yds for a TD. Wait, there's a flag. Pass interference, Chiefs get the ball back. No TD. Cheifs score on the very next play when WR Dwayne Bowe turns a short pass over the middle into a 56yd TD. Steelers 3 Chiefs 21
Steelers still can't get anything going. The Chiefs continue to roll adding a 17yd TD pass from QB B. Strickland to HB L. Johnson. Then CB Brandon Flowers intercepts QB Ben Roethlisberger and goes 84yds for a TD. Cheifs add another TD when QB Blake Strickland finds a wide open WR Kevin Robinson on a wheel route. The Chiefs finish the 2nd quarter with a Larry Johnson 1yd TD run. The Steelers end the half crying. Steelers 3 Chiefs 49.
The 3rd quarter starts where the 2nd quarter finished with a pair of Chiefs TDs, one to WR Isaiah Darcy and another TD run by HB Larry Johnson. Steelers 3 Chiefs 63. Coach Joslin sends in the 2nd string for the 4th quarter.
HB Larry Johnson adds another run TD, and CB Patrick Surtain ends the game with a 37yd interception return for a TD. Steelers 3 Chiefs 77.
Chiefs head to the AFC Championship Game!
