KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Hope you’re a fan of field goals.
The Pittsburgh Steelers converted half a dozen to score all their points and book their trip to the AFC Championship Game in an 18-16 victory Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Steelers now travel to Foxborough, Mass., to face the conference’s No. 1 seed Sunday in the New England Patriots. The Patriots beat the Steelers 27-16 in Week 7, but quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed the game as he recovered from surgery on his torn meniscus.
Steelers place kicker Chris Boswell drilled all six of his field goal attempts (22, 38, 26, 45, 43, 43), setting an NFL record for most all time in a single postseason game.
