    ESPN Game Preview

    The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are in the hunt for playoff spots, but one will have a much more challenging path after this weekend.

    Following a pair of wins over other teams vying for postseason berths, the Steelers attempt to continue riding the NFL's best offense while trying to solve the Chiefs' stingy defense Sunday at Heinz Field.

    Pittsburgh (9-5) enters Week 16 in a wild-card spot, and tied with Baltimore for second in the AFC Central, one-half game behind first-place Cincinnati.

    While the Ravens visit Houston on Sunday, the Bengals aren't in action until Monday against Denver, which has already clinched the AFC West.

    The Steelers host the Bengals in next week's regular-season finale, while Baltimore faces Cleveland.

    Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 42-21 in Week 14 and followed that up with a 27-20 win at Atlanta last weekend.

    "The last couple of games have been playoff games for us," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "We've had to take that approach and that mindset because of how important every game was where we were record wise, seed-wise whatever you want to call it. We've kind of had that mentality for the last couple of weeks that it's time to get hot and play our best football.

    "So we're just going to continue to try to do that."

    The Chiefs (8-6) share that sentiment after ending a three-game losing streak with last Sunday's 31-13 win over lowly Oakland, reviving their hopes of eventually claiming a wild-card spot.

    Kansas City wraps up the regular season at home versus San Diego, one of eight other teams vying for one of the two wild-card berths.

    "Every game is playoff-mode," running back Jamaal Charles said. "Every game, you've got to come with it."

    The Steelers are certainly doing it behind the league's top offense, gaining 424.9 yards per game and scoring 33.1 points while winning six of eight.

    "We're trying to stack wins," cornerback William Gay said. "Playing against good opponents and just putting everything on the line."

    Much of the focus is on their Big Three of Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell, who are setting records along the way.

    Roethlisberger's 4,415 passing yards are already a franchise record, while his 67.2 completion percentage is a career high. He's also tossed 29 touchdowns, three off his 2007 personal best.

    Brown's 115 receptions lead the league, and are already a single-season team record. He set the franchise mark of 1,499 receiving yards last year, and needs just two yards to pass it. He's also one TD catch short of becoming the fourth Steelers wide receiver to grab a dozen, potentially joining Hines Ward (2002), Louis Lipps (1985) and Buddy Dial (1961).

    Bell's 76 receptions are the most by a Steelers running back, 25 more than the previous record set by John L. Williams in 1994. He's also amassed a team-record 2,043 yards from scrimmage.

    Another big game through the air won't come easy Sunday, with the Chiefs owning the second-best pass defense in the NFL at 199.2 yards per game.

    "It's a good defense. We have to look at a lot more film because they get after the passer (and are) good in the secondary," Roethlisberger said. "This is going to be one of our toughest tasks of the year."

    Kansas City relies heavily on Charles and Knile Davis, putting pressure on Pittsburgh's run defense, which has allowed 183 yards and one touchdown over the last two games.

    The tandem has combined for 1,388 rushing yards and accounted for 21 of the team's 36 touchdowns.

    Davis was key again last weekend after Charles underwent a concussion test following a hit. The second-year running back scored twice, including a 70-yard catch.

    "Like Jamaal said, every game from here forward is a playoff game. We're taking that mindset into every game," Davis said. "For me, it's just a dream to be in the NFL. To make the big plays and help this team win is just huge all around."

    The Chiefs could use some production from their wide receivers, who haven't scored a touchdown in 17 games to tie Cleveland (2008-09) and Denver (1971-72) for the longest such streak since the merger.

    Alex Smith has thrown for 18 TDs this season, with Charles and tight end Travis Kelce grabbing five apiece.

    "The fact that they're still winning games and haven't been able to have passing touchdowns like that, it shows that they're a very resourceful team," Steelers linebacker Arthur Moats said.

    Pittsburgh has won four straight at home against Kansas City since a loss on Dec. 21, 1986.

    Scouting Report from the Kansas City Star:

    When the Chiefs run

    EDGE >> CHIEFS

    The Steelers’ run defense has been solid, ranking 11th in the NFL. However, the Chiefs’ run offense ranks seventh. The Steelers will try to take away star Jamaal Charles, so it’s up to the Chiefs’ line to win the line of scrimmage. Coach Andy Reid has helped them do that with his playcalling, which features plenty of misdirection and plays to his line’s strengths. Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons has good instincts and is good against the run.
    Chiefs’ top rusher No. Yds. Avg. TD
    J. Charles 184 950 5.2 9
    When the Chiefs pass

    EDGE >> STEELERS

    The Steelers’ pass defense has struggled, ranking 25th in the league. The Chiefs will need to attack a speed-deficient secondary, particularly deep, but their offensive line has allowed 39 sacks, which ranks 23rd in the league. While the Steelers haven’t gotten many sacks — they rank 27th in the league with 24 — individual players like defensive end Cam Heyward, a rising star, and a trio of pass-rushing linebackers — Jason Worilds, Arthur Moats and James Harrison — could overwhelm a unit that has often struggled.

    A. Smith 272 419 2,954 18-6
    Chiefs’ top WR No. Yds. Avg. TD
    T. Kelce 56 747 13.3 5
    When the Steelers run

    EDGE >> STEELERS

    Second-year back Le’Veon Bell is having an incredible year. He is huge (6-1, 244) with quick feet, good vision and the ability to power through tackles. He’s exactly the kind of player who can exploit a defense that ranks 28th in the NFL against the run and has struggled with its tackling and gap discipline. Maurkice Pouncey is one of the league’s best centers. .
    Steelers’ top rusher No. Yds. Avg. TD
    L. Bell 262 1,278 4.9 7
    When the Steelers pass

    EDGE >> CHIEFS

    Ben Roethlisberger is in the midst of another excellent season, but he’s been sacked 32 times. That bodes well for a pass rush that ranks seventh in the league with 39 sacks and features one of the game’s elite pass rushers, Justin Houston, who has 17 sacks. He and the Chiefs’ other pass rushers better get to Roethlisberger. If not, receiver Antonio Brown and his young running mate, the imposing Martavis Bryant (6-4, 211) will tear them up.
    Steelers’ top QB C A Yds. TD-I
    B. Roethlisberger 366 545 4,415 29-8
    Steelers’ top WR No. Yds. Avg. TD
    A. Brown 115 1,498 13 11
    Special teams

    EDGE >> CHIEFS

    Unlike the Chiefs, who have returned a kick and a punt for touchdowns, the Steelers have failed to get a return touchdown. Punter Dustin Colquitt has the clear edge over Pittsburgh’s Brad Wing, while Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham has been more accurate than Cairo Santos. The Steelers have allowed a return touchdown (on a kickoff), while the Chiefs haven’t.

    Coaching

    EDGE >> STEELERS

    The Steelers’ staff gets the edge with a slightly stronger resume. Chiefs coach Andy Reid has been doing it longer than Mike Tomlin (left), and you can certainly argue he’s been a larger reason for his team’s success than Tomlin, who stepped into a franchise with a well-established and successful culture. However, Tomlin has guided to the Steelers to one more Super Bowl appearance and one more Super Bowl victory than Reid.

    X-factor

    EDGE >> STEELERS

    The Chiefs will get a break because it appears snow is not in the forecast, but the home crowd will be into this one. Unlike the Chiefs, who could drop out of the playoff picture with a loss, the Steelers can clinch a playoff berth with a win.

    Bottom line: Steelers 23-20

    Look for the Chiefs’ coaching staff to throw its best stuff at the Steelers, and look for the players to bring their “A” games. This is the kind of high-stakes game that coaches and front offices can use to make their evaluations come the offseason. It will be close, and the Chiefs may win, but Pittsburgh is the favorite.

    Didn't see it. I was at work. But I read about it. SUCKS! But it doesn't change the job. Win out--go to the playoffs. We still control our own destiny.

    Hey Connecticut, we should be at that Chiefs bar in Philly, because this IS the first playoff game.
