Five hot takes right off the grill after the Chiefs beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh

That’s how many days it’s been since the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on their home turf. Until the game clock ticked down to triple zeros at Heinz Field on Sunday afternoon, the previous count had reached 11,592. (Thanks to Gary McKenzie for making the original calculation).

That’s more than 31 years — more than a whole generation, and even longer that the time between Todd Blackledge’s last start as a Chief and Patrick Mahomes’ first one.

And it’s not a coincidence that those two are roughly similar periods of time, and occurred almost simultaneously.
