It’s halftime of the Chiefs’ sixth game of 2017, and the Chiefs trail the Pittsburgh Steelers 12-3 at Arrowhead Stadium. Here is Terez A. Paylor’s quick analysis.

The Chiefs’ run defense looked as bad as it did in January, when the Steelers rolled up 171 rushing yards in a divisional-round win that knocked the Chiefs out of the playoffs. Le’Veon Bell tortured the Chiefs for 108 first-half yards today thanks to his combination of vision, patience and power, and the Chiefs’ inability to get off blocks or wrap up.
