Wild Card Positional Grades: Chiefs vs. Steelers

Well, we’ll always have 7-0 from Sunday night’s 42-21 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card Round at Arrowhead Stadium.

We’ll always have No. 7 too.

In the final game of the storied career of Ben Roethlisberger, the Pittsburgh Steelers went out with a whimper, allowing 35 unanswered points after an inspiring first 15 minutes of play, serving as nothing more than a speed bump to the Chiefs’ high-powered attack.

It was the same old song, difference dance for the Steelers in the loss as the offense left the defense out to dry early on, and by the time the Steelers’ offense found any footing, the defense was on empty as the Chiefs were able to do whatever they wanted offensively.
