Film review: Against the Steelers, the Chiefs’ front 7 created havoc

Kansas City Chiefs defensive players were front-row ticket holders to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s NFL swan song — but they made for an unruly audience.

Defensive tackle Chris Jones and defensive end Frank Clark led the way as the Kansas City front seven had an impactful day during Sunday’s 42-21 Wild Card playoff victory, allowing only 56 rushing yards to the Steelers. For the majority of the contest, the defensive line outmatched Pittsburgh’s young offensive linemen.

Najee Harris had a memorable rookie season in 2021 — but in his first playoff game, the Chiefs shut him down.
