After a less-than-inspiring two weeks to close the regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs appeared set to underwhelm once again after a slow start in their Wild Card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. But by the end of the game, the result was similar to the Chiefs’ blowout win against Pittsburgh three weeks before: a 42-21 victory that was not nearly as close as the final score would indicate.
Pittsburgh won the coin toss and elected to receive to start the game. The Steelers started with a three-and-out, which the Chiefs then matched.
